Saturday Night Club ONT - January 10, 2026 [Double Ds]

20260108-NPS-JohnMoultonBarn.jpg

Welcome to Club ONT - A collaboration of the Double D's - The Disco and The Dino.

One less D than when we started this thing. Adjust your expectations accordingly. The place might look a little different, but it will still open on time, and it will still only be as classy as the patrons. Yeah, that means YOU! Oh boy...

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

He says to sales lady "I would like to buy a Baptist bra for my wife, size 36B."
With a quizzical look the sales lady asked "what kind of bra?"

He repeated a "Baptist bra, she said to tell you she wanted a Baptist bra, and you would know what she wanted."

"Ah now I remember" said the sales lady, "we don't get as many requests for them as we used to. Our customers lately want the Catholic bra, or the Salvation Army bra, or the Presbyterian type."

Confused a little flustered, the man asks "So, what are the differences?"

The lady responded "It's all really quite simple a Catholic type supports the masses. The Salvation Army lifts the fallen. The Presbyterian type keeps things staunch and upright."

He mused on the information for a minute and then asks "So, what is the Baptist type for?"

"They" she replied "make mountains out of molehills."

Club ONT News Desk

AI-generated police report states Utah officer was turned into a frog

A Utah police department's use of artificial intelligence led to a police report stating - falsely - that an officer had been transformed into a frog.

The Heber City Police Department started using a pair of AI programs, Draft One and Code Four, to automatically generate police reports from body camera footage in December.

A report generated by the Draft One program mistakenly reported that an officer had been turned into a frog.

Thank you for your continued patronage of Club ONT. We regret to inform you that the "Club ONT 2026 Suggestion Box" has gone missing, so we will be unable to implement anything you may have jotted down and dropped in there. The box was last seen in Doggo's possession. On a completely unrelated note, Doggo was last seen digging a hole out back and burying something. We may never know what he was doing.

38 One early evening a few decades ago, I was sorta waiting for a date to be ready to go and stopped into a bar for - something. I was dressed OK and a hippie was the only other person there. We talked about stuff and I asked what he was drinking. Beer with a follow up shot of peppermint schnapps. I expressed doubt so he bought me a shot to go with my beer. Dad gum! It was good enough I've kept up the habit. Just a schnapps story.

52 I had something strange happen today. Maybe better for the book thread. But I’m reading a book entitled “Hit the Target” about the 8th Air Force in World War II. Some of the missions were very bad.

They mentioned a B-17 called “Royal Flush”, the plane and crew were the only one out of 13 that made it back to base. They named one of the waist gunners, and I’m like “I knew that guy!”. He was a customer on my route. I was aware he was a B-17 guy and had a rough time of it, but jeeze louise. He was a real nice guy. Every time I saw him he greeted me with a big smile on his face.

85 Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers pushed a demonstrably false narrative about the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minneapolis.

Following the Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, Rivers went on a sprawling, emotional rant, claiming that Renee Good was simply an innocent bystander “trying to go home.”

Rivers added that the Trump administration is “attacking Brown people.”

98 85 Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers pushed a demonstrably false narrative about the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minneapolis.

Following the Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, Rivers went on a sprawling, emotional rant, claiming that Renee Good was simply an innocent bystander “trying to go home.”

Rivers added that the Trump administration is “attacking Brown people.”

I played basketball in junior high and HS. Because I was 5'8" and the coach made me. Does this count? I mostly hung out on the bench until an outside shot was needed. I was NOT going to mess up my hair or get black eyes fighting for the ball. If a tie ball with an Amazon I gave it to her.

I had two black eyes from practice and that was enough.

I still have the outside shot.

At an SCA event I will not name, there was a movement for non-alcoholic drinkers to compete and the beverage of choice was milk.

Harmless milk. But if you drink too much of anything, it can come back at you. And so it was, that the milk-drinking contest went badly awry when someone exceeded their limit and vomited on the campfire and completely cleared the area. I was not present, but heard the tale from one of the refugees, who needed a beer to restore their equilibrium.

I found a girlfriend that way. In the parking lot before a Steppenwolf and Tommy James and the Shondells concert in early 1978. It was January, bitter cold, and this young lady was passed out after puking in a snowbank. She was petite, I picked her up, warmed her in my van, then we went inside to the show when she started to recover. She sobered up during the show, we had a nice time and I drove her home about 20 miles after the show. Her friends had abandoned her when she fell out.

Identify the strength advantages that the regime's minions hold over the protestors.. it sure as hell isn't strength in numbers at this point..

1) Organization
2) Communication and intel
3) Mobility
4) Armament

Deny the regime's goons any one of those advantages, and you sap their force multipliers.. But ofc, the more, the merrier.

The simplest part of it - make sure the protestors are getting weapons.

The more complex part is whether to directly intervene and how - after the Gulf War the "no fly zone" stuff looked to be enough to topple Saddam...if we had kept it up. But Pappy Bush decided that Saddam at that point was less of a concern then Iran.

275 The 2004 WA State Governor's race set the template that the Dems haven't have been using ever since.

It was almost comical as they started to find votes everyone on the right said, "They'll keep finding votes until it puts the communist over the top and then they'll declare it over" and they did exactly that.

And somehow Rossi the GOP had no plan whatsoever.

Now, Trump sort of had a plan...get so many votes they can't steal it...but still even under Trump this continues.
Posted by: 18-1

One of the more impressive Dem moves was the trunk full of recently discovered votes that had been "missed" because they were in somebody's trunk for about about a week and a half after polls closed. The whole game was to scream and stall until the Dems got a solid bead on how many votes it would take to win the steal. Once that was set the game was to win by an amount just under the automatic recount number. And that is exactly what happened.

I only went to 7 Dead shows, beginning with Dylan at RFK in '86, so it's not a lot, but they were all great with one bad exception (it happens). My sum total of chemical ingestion is one beer. (The one time I ever did psychedelics at a music show was a Dead cover band, LOL.) They were a fun band to watch live and while they did the long, drawn-out jam thing, they also have a lot of short, catchy songs going back to their 1st album.

There were five great voices in grunge: Cobain, Vedder, Staley, Cornell and Weiland. I always found it sad that the only survivor is the least interesting voice of the group.

Love Reign O'er Me.
Arrangement is better and the lyrics are much more poignant. Was the closing of Quadrophenia with a young man who had lost everything on a rock in a storm and who finally figures out that love from above is the most important thing in this life.

Riders is about a psychopath that wants to kill people. So I guess if you are a horror film lover, Riders would be the pick.

The Deluxe CD of Quadrophenia has Pete's demos for the album.

Some are pretty much straight on what the Who laid down on the album, but Can You See the Real Me demo is really funky and different than the mega Who version on the album. Kind of tells you that Pete must have been listening a bit to funk bands I guess.

Best version of Quadrophenia's Drowned is Pete playing solo (and very drunk on brandy) at the Policeman's Secret Ball 1979.

Much more passionate than the Who version on the album and better sung too.

148 Hardly a major trend but I've noticed that some popular stars from the 70s to the 90s, especially vocalists, made a successful switch to traditional western and folk music and classic evergreens. Kathy Mattea, Suzy Bogguss, John Hartford, Toni Tennille, and Michael Martin Murphy come to mind. The voices are as good as ever, just not whatever passes for hit songs these days. Linda Ronstadt made several albums with the Nelson Riddle orchestra of big band songs. The albums still sell and are popular. Their concerts may not fill huge arenas but they do sell out their venues.

Doors were very influential and I like a lot of their music. But Morrison always seemed like he had a death wish and wasn't happy.

Thanks for the recommendation. I found Geordie Greep interesting. Opening of the song I listened to ("Blues") reminded me of Phish.

If you liked 80's alt stuff, specifically The Smiths, with maybe a bit of a Roxy Music vibe, check out Brigitte Calls Me Baby. I linked a video a couple of weeks ago when Brigitte Bardot (whose pen pal relationship with the lead singer inspired the group name) died. They have a new single releasing Tuesday.

A lot of those are showing up on youtube. Fwiw, there was a video of Elvis's last live show (SD I think or something) and he is obviously badly messed up on drugs/whatever. He sits at the piano and then sings Unchained Melody and blows the Righteous Brothers recorded version and his own pretty dismal studio album take away.

You could see the old Elvis come alive for just a moment singing that song to the crowd. Sad but a fitting epitaph.

Weir wrote or co-wrote and sang lead vocals on Dead classics including “Sugar Magnolia,” “One More Saturday Night” and “Mexicali Blues.”

Rick Beato and Fil of Wings of Pegasus are noting that bands (or their rights holders) are going back to tinker and add that crap to revise the sound on classic rock videos.

My guess is to appeal to people that think that is how music should sound.

Fil, when analyzing both Karen Carpenter and Julie Andrews, demonstrated just how good singers could be without any of the modern technological bullshit improvements.

He also demonstrated that Roger Daltrey was still not using that garbage to fix his voice on a song like Baba O'Riley.

My favorite Bob Weir song was Black-Throated Wind, but there were a bunch that I loved seeing turn up:

The Music Never Stopped
Greatest Story Ever Told
Let it Grow
Estimated Prophet
Samson and Delilah
Beat it on Down The Line

And probably more I'm forgetting.

I once saw Bob Weir's band on a tour with JGB. This was when he had some amazing legendary bass player with him. I've been looking for that perfect version of Book of Rules that they played at Cape Cod Coliseum ever since, and never found it.

197 Thx for that Opinion Fact.

I bookmarked the YT channel for that.

I can't visualize images etc. and turn them in my head but curiously enough I can instantly recall music and know whether it is the original artist and recording. I can pick out different takes on the same song or where they spliced in a previous take in a lot of cases as well and where they did it.

I 'hear' the music in my brain like a tape which makes it a stone cold beyotch if I get an earworm.

I can wake up 'hearing' a song replay in my mind on waking up and then hear the song over and over again on a loop all day. Had perfect pitch until I suffered some hearing loss.

And that includes junk songs. I'm a Believer was it one time, Sugar Sugar another.

Sometimes though an original is bettered by a different singer even though the original was a hit.

Kate Bush and Rocketman was another fantastic take.

AI is killing artists as well. Rick made a point that essentially bands are morte in rock. All the bands making the top of Spotify playlists are ancient relics of past musical eras.

It is all about the individuals and those individual artists are often autotuned and pitch corrected with base tracks to the extent that AI can easily dispense with the singer and just put an AI voice in place with the AI backing track, lyrics, etc.

The big streaming services essentially turned music into a commodity.

People that otherwise have quit communicating suddenly 'wake' up and start singing suddenly remembering words. Music gets us at a level below consciousness that implants in us at a very deep level I think.

243 I get physical "rushes" from music during certain passages. Goosebumps on my arms and legs.
Posted by: pawn


That's what it's supposed to do.

As long as we're owning up to stuff (like owning Tori Amos's discography), there's I can't listen to without tearing up a bit. At least if I'm singing along. Marillion's "Brave" is a concept about a suicidal girl about to jump off a bridge (with most of the songs/story being told in flashbacks) has 3 or 4 spots like that. Mostly when it snaps back to the present, and has the girl talking directly to the cops, or her abusive father, etc.

I don't know what you're doing here
when there's murder on the street.
I appreciate your concern,
but don't waste your time on me.

244 Since we're talking music videos, everybody is aware thst MTV is officially dead, correct? I know they haven't played videos in decades, but they went off the air playing the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star."
-----

I'll go to my grave believing that MTV could have had a 20-year longer (meaningful) run than they did. They pivoted too fast. There was never going to be a stand-alone model for catering to the music crowd they chose to shift to. The beauty of the original MTV model may have been born out of desperation (the scarcity of usable music videos), but what it gave MTV was a magical platform where in the same single hour one might catch songs by Judas Priest, Linda Ronstadt, Robert Palmer, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Run DMC, Krokus, Paul McCartney, and Eurythmics. It was a catch-all. You stayed because of what MIGHT happen.

246 Touch of Grey had very late commercial success and when it did, all of a sudden it became a song that had somehow earned disdain.

Posted by: San Franpsycho at January 10, 2026 09:57 PM (RIvkX)

247 MTV unplugged was something I think that MTV should have done more of. Instead they went into reality tv hard and destroyed their music brand. At the same time, FM radio, having killed music on AM, suddenly went into corporate ownership which meant the playlists were suddenly the same coast to coast.

Corporations homogenized music and then streaming destroyed the big corporate world of homogenized music. Now AI is likely to maim and destroy streaming. And good unknown bands are struggling to make a buck live while dinosaur big rock bands suck up the scarce dollars for 'live' music to make bucks before they die.

Bet that was fun. The festivals moved to Fort Adams after I moved away. But I've seen a number of videos at the fort. I'm so pleased they still attract the best talent. I could listen to Diana Krall and her group for hours. And bringing your own lawn chair would have to be more comfortable than the seats at the old festival field site.

260 Well, right. They would setup the Grateful Dead on one side of the hall. The Merry Pranksters on the other, with their very weird setups, and light shows, and a garbage can full of acid dosed kool-aid.

The idea was, kinda, the audience was the show. Not everyone enjoyed being dosed unawares. Janis Joplin throttled Bear “You killed my fucking bass player!” because she thought he had dosed him with the stuff. He didn’t die, but he probably thought he was.

I’m surprised they could play anything under those conditions. “This is a bass guitar, Phil”. “Wow!” “You’re in the band.. it’s time to go on now.”

The Doors? Not so much. In my youth, and now too
Nirvana? Not no, but fuck no!
They and their genre sucked all of the oxygen out of the hair metal scene. The early 90’s still had some serious talent coming along. May I present XYZ. Inside Out, Nice Way to Die, and especially What keeps Me Loving You. The latter being quite excellent.
The rest of the “grunge”, and may I suggest SLUDGE as the proper term, was crap.

Hobby Thread - January 10, 2026 [TRex]

20260109-builder.jpg

Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. We gave the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies (TM) a spin it landed on home building.


***

What are you hobbying?

As per usual Hobby Thread etiquette, keep this thread limited to hobbying. All (legal) hobbying is welcome. Discussion of current events, religion and politics can elsewhere. Pants are optional. As always, puns are welcome and encouraged.

Play nice. Don't be a troll and do not feed the trolls.

20250901-20250801-7551753997430.jpg

Home building? Is that really a "hobby"? Sure - with a little imagination and artistic license.

Many have built their own homes, with a wide range between tailoring a model and full custom. Many have remodeled, renovated and expanded existing homes. Even if none of those apply to you, most of you have experience living in a house.

Full disclosure: this post is shamelessly designed to obtain wisdom and ideas as we embark on a project to design and build our own house. We are in the early days, but tinkering with floor plans and thinking big thoughts. Your ideas may help inform our plans, so thank you in advance!

No, we do not intend to swing a hammer and pour concrete ourselves. We will have professionals involved but we still need to make the right design decisions.

No, we're not going to post too many details here for OpSec reasons.

***

20250901-20250828-431756416310.jpg

Have you built your own home? Share victories, horror stories and lessons learned.

Whether you built your home or not, what unique feature in your home are you most pleased with?

What unique feature seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out to be too difficult, not worth the money, or something that ended up not being used as you envisioned?

In retrospect, what great idea did you consider and rejected, but now wish you had included?

Do you have any secret doors or hidden passageways (that you can disclose)?

Did you use pre-packaged plans or hire an architect to create custom plans?

Other than the usual pit of despair that comes from change orders and a bruised bank account, what lessons do you have from your experience of building or renovating?

Did you do anything to take care of the workers during your project (like bring coffee in the morning or a cold case of beer at the end of the day from time to time)?

Did you have a big party at the end? If so, did you invite people like architect, contractors and subcontractors?

What was the biggest surprise of the process (good or bad)?

Completely different program, but very impressive.

Note: I have intentionally skipped most content from television shows and YT channels on homebuilding, home renovation, home rescue, etc. I don't want this thread to be about TV personalities, clickbait videos, or other manufactured drama.

I have also skipped tiny homes, shipping container homes, and the world of making homes out of airplanes or similar. We're not doing any of that.

***

Not into homebuilding? How about an online museum of knitted Swedish mittens?

Tumvante is the Swedish word for mitten. This random example is from 1920.

Posted by: Sal Pagliucca at January 10, 2026 05:37 PM (oftw2)

6 Ha! I actually have some input on this one.
Based on living in a home all my life I suggest the following:
1) Pay close attention on your electrical. Make sure all breakers are fully mapped to what they control. Get a panel at least twice the size you think you need.
2) Put in a lot of outlets. A *lot*. Everything is powered these days. Make sure that the outlets in an area map to different breakers so you don't overload the one.
3) Allow for future cables. If you can, run conduit with pull cords so you can easily run stuff *inside* the walls.
4) Instead of one hot water heater, run just the cold to each area and put in appropriate sized tankless heaters.
5) If you live somewhere hot, do NOT run your cold water in the attic space. One brother's house is like that and they have to hang ice over the shower head to take a shower - ALL their water is HOT, especially in the Arizona summer.
6) Allow for maintenance. Instead of completely walling things in, make a nice little door that's hard to spot but gives access when needed.

These are just the top things I'd do if we built a new house.

11 TRex, I built an ICF house 11 years ago. Love it. R values around 50. We have a walkout basement with a MIL quarters down, 2000ft main and another 2000 play room up.
Our heating and cooling is less than it was with the 980 ft
trailer we had here while building.
We have Hardiboard siding. Also have a "safe room" in the basement that doubles as a root cellar in the winter.

Added a basement, which was a mistake. Too close to ground water. Also added a Solarium, which is great. Didn't hire anyone except the guy to form the basement walls. It took me 5 years.
I also plumbed it and wired it. Had help on the inside. The exterior walls are 2x6 so it could be insulated better. Done it once, wouldn't want to do it again.

43 Nurse,

Have you ever been to Olallie Lake in Oregon? It's been awhile, so I don't know how much it has changed. It's in the Three Sisters area. Old Forest Service cabins with wood heat and kerosene lamps, outhouses. No motors allowed on the lake. Last time I was there, no cell service. Really a wonderful place to get away. I love the cabins there. I am not sure about the link of the log cabin. I did have a friend that was building one.

Living in rural Wyoming, a big pantry would be great. You have to stock up for winter here because sometimes you can't get to the small grocery if it's a bad winter.

I hate the small double sinks we have. If I had the space I would have two regular size sinks. Trying to clean 13 by 9 pans is a pita.

63 Never 'built' a house but have done some modifications that weren't structural. Tore up the wall to wall carpet which was disintegrating and the original tile underneath and replaced it with new tile. One wall was covered in cork panels glued to wood paneling. (We had questions about the sanity or at least the judgement of the previous owners.) It all got scraped off. Spent a couple of weeks on my knees which I couldn't do now. Painted the non-panel walls and installed wood trim I made myself along the ceiling and floor. Mrs. JTB made the drapes, hand sewing them on the new floor because we didn't have any other space big enough, which have held up beautifully.

That was a few years ago (pre-Mexico) and I no longer make a living doing it but I've used the experience to 'customize' every house we've lived in.
We downsized to a 1972 era 2,200sf one story that from the outside looks original. The bedrooms are mostly original (stole a closet from a room for our master), total upgrades to both baths and where there used to be a den, kitchen, living room and breakfast nook became one big room with a cathedral ceiling.
Entire house has traditional oak floors and double pane, double throw windows. House didn't have gas when we moved in but it does now. Whole house water filtration, in house vacuum system and heated swimming pool were finishing touches.
I did all of the structural carpentry and paid the pros when it came to sheetrock, painting and staining.

91 My dad's idea of relaxing was building. We moved a number of times when I was young for my dad's job and every home they bought my dad added something, from bookcases and cabinets to sun rooms and kitchen remodels.

It culminated with them buying a farm that was originally built around 1800 and hadn't been lived in for 50 years when they bought it. My dad and his slave, me, rebuilt and renovated virtually every bit of that place including turning the cow barn into a horse barn. Turned out pretty damn good and I learned a lot but once is enough.

My BIL wired it and his son helped me frame it.
I would drive 5 hours each way most weekends and we would buy lumber and other items from the local Builders Square in Greenville, Tx. My dad and I were in line one day and he mumbled "I don't know why they give me a military discount, I didn't do anything".

I just about lost my chili when I heard that. He joined WWII at 17 and was discharged as an Ensign in the Navy when it ended, He was never assigned a ship and his father died in a military plane crash into Mt.

Had one in the house I grew up in. The vac itself was hung on an outside wall. Piping was, I think, 1-1/2 nominal PVC. Folks had dogs who left a lot of big kibbles on the floor. Sucked them right up. Was like a shop vac for power and what it could inhale.

112 We are on our third retirement home since 2006. All 3 were custom designs where we found the plans and did all of the design choices on cabinets, flooring, fixtures, appliances and all other details. We didn’t swing a hammer, however we were heavily invested in the design. The home we’re in now we scanned the details from online and I modified them using Paint and than they were handed to an architect to make them work..
Our builder wanted us to use their designer, no, not needed. I actually bought antique items, including gas lamp arms that I refurbished and dressers that I used for bathroom vanities and most of the lighting in the house. Also refurbished a mantle circa 1850 that’s being used in our living room. This is our last home and it’s all me in design.

It was put in after I was pretty much finished. It has one port in the house and one in the garage where the unit is. It's an ElectroLux system, I paid to have it installed and it cost around $1,100 installed and with all the attachments. The plumbing is thin walled PVC. Hose is long enough to reach everywhere in the house except 2' in the utility room that can be reached from the garage. I like it because it doesn't kick up any dust like a bagger will.

117 Not about building but dealing with a house already built. The house I grew up in was built circa 1860s. For some reason my dad decided to put in a doorway from kitchen to dining room through a wall. I was too little to help beyond handing him tools. The walls were plaster mixed with horse hair and layered over chicken wire. Wallpaper covered the plaster. If you haven't dealt with that stuff, it is tough. You can't just break it out like drywall. Use a hammer to crack the plaster enough to get a hacksaw blade in to cut the wire and peel off sections. It is a slow, dusty process. Haven't lived in that house for over 50 years but I bet the walls are still standing solid.

124 My brother built his house from clearing the land, pouring the foundation, putting up the walls and ceiling and all the interior work and plumbing. A friend did his electrical as a trade off. He knew how he wanted it and built it that way. It's a very distinctive sort of mid-century modern with a flat roof. There's a breezeway between the main house and the guestrooms, with a four foot walkway all around and up to an additional two room suite with a sauna that my s-i-l uses as her workout space. He did all the floors in terrazo, after teaching himself how to do it and buying a grinder and polisher, with a geometric pattern around the walls made with nickel.

It's a spectacular house that I can't do justice to with my clumsy words.

Pretty spectacular, really.

140 Here, folks freak out if they are without power for 3-4 days.

I paid for a Generac 22Kw unit in August of 2020. Vendor I went through had me order directly through Generac and told me to call him when it got there.

I started getting antsy when it didn't show up by November or so and I was having a hard time getting in touch with the installer so I called Generac about it. I was told Covid had them on intermittent lockdown and they assured my vendor was solid. Finally showed up on my driveway in early February 2021. I had the pad and buried conduits ready. Took them about 2-3 hours to install it.

Ice storm Uri hit four days later and took out power like a mofo.

148 Excellent subject! I look forward to reading thru the comments.

When my parents retired for good they had a house built about 100 miles north of where I grew up along the Florida coast. My mom's niece, who was very close in age to my mother and was like a younger sister to her, liked the area so much she and her husband decided to move there too. Then the niece wanted her mother, my mom's oldest sister, to move there too. My aunt resisted saying she liked her house very much and didn't want to move. Since the niece's husband had built every house they had lived in, including the new Florida one, he and my newly retired dad went over to my aunt's house, measured it all out, and the two of them built a replica with a few mods for my aunt, on an adjoining lot to the niece where she lived until she was too old to live on her own.

152 In 2005 I built a 2 story, 20 x 36 post frame garage with a gambrel roof. That was before youtube so I learned how to do it the old-fashioned way by reading several books on 'pole barn' construction.

Do a search for NDSU building plans for free 'pole barn' plans.

It wasn't all that difficult and it's still serving us today. But my most valuable lesson was this: Just because someone has a business card that says they do 'Concrete Work' doesn't mean they can actually do concrete work!

I think I'm doing paying for things like water heaters. I hope. I've discovered that a lot of the things in this house were done very well, and a lot were done by somebody's idiot cousin.

Like the water line for the refrigerator's icemaker. Who the hell runs water line through the air conditioner warm air return? It's open to the outside under the house (where the water comes in) and to the inside of the house (where the water goes out.) I only know about it because we had to replace the shutoff valve because it was spraying water all over the inside of the air return.

169 My dream home--which has to wait until I'm 59 1/2 (401ks)--is (if I can afford to build it) going to be something *extremely* low-maintenance/high-efficiency. I don't want to have to spend my retirement constantly fixing and/or paying for things. Big enough and ADA-compliant enough to give my parents a "wing".

I'm thinking Monolithic Dome(s), ICF, or *maybe* 3D-printed conglomerate if the tech has matured by then. In-floor radiant heating from a duel-fuel (wood/propane) boiler in an oversized utility room. A/C, dunno, HVAC or just a half-dozen heat pumps scattered throughout? Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Environment is central Texas, so it freezes and fries, sometimes on the same day.

171 I... actually hadn't heard of ERVs. I knew I had to have some kind of air exchanger with a dome (the mfr. insists, because it's so airtight you'll suffocate yourself without one), but I didn't know you could get one with a heat exchanger attached. That makes tons of sense for *any* design.

Did you build your ICF yourself, or have contractors do it? You can probably guess that I'd lean towards the latter... And, what do you do for heat? Is it just built into the A/C?

Posted by: Big D at January 10, 2026 08:15 PM (IUAH1)

172 Things I've learned building my parents' house (so far):

If you have to cut out the plastic bracing inside Insulated concrete forms for any reason, make sure they're braced from the outside.

If you've designed things for a layer of gravel under your foundation to let water flow through, gravel the entire excavated pit, not just where the footings will go. This will allow you to use the extra concrete from pouring your foundation wall as a rat slab, which will also save you from having to put down some other kind of vapor barrier in your crawl space.

There's an additive that you can purchase that hypothetically makes concrete both water proof and self healing. This should save you from having to put water barriers on the outside of your foundation wall.

Something serious, courtesy of Biden's Dog:

We have personal experience with this topic here in the wild and wooly Central Valley of California, where even smaller dogs can be dangerous when they run in packs. VDH alluded to this in Mexifornia,

Most recently, our little blind kitten (who got over at least part of his blindness) escaped from the garage and was killed along with one of the old garden kitties he had befriended.

A few years ago, our precious little Shaggy the Dog was killed by a gang of pit bulls which ripped down part of our fence. See his photo with the PetMorons below. The dogs who killed Shaggy were kicked out of town by the sheriff, along with their owners (who had their own problems). The dogs had shown early signs of chasing a man on a bicycle, too.

I also know someone who has raised a much-loved champion Pit Bull. He kept her on leash in public.

pit bll k.jpg

Meet The PetMorons

This is our dear departed Shaggy. Hard to believe that he was given to us by a neighbor because he was causing family conflict. Probably involving urine.

I think he was about ten years old at the time of this photo. He was as sweet as he looked. Had some quirks.

Staffordshire Terriers are another breed of pitbull that's supposed to be so kind and gentle (and protective) around children that in Old Blighty it's nicknamed "The Nanny Dog".

But, I wonder if that reputation is deserved or are they just as bitey and vicious and unpredictable as your average pitfall seems to be.

9 We have had to watch for packs of street dogs, and around town there have been other troublesome dogs, including a chow.

There were a couple of rottweillers across the street which were not confined before the neighborhood was real developed and one day the male started to get a funny look in his eye and we didn't dare approach him. He disappeared soon afterward.

Our Troy was a huge dog who had run on the street and protected us and our other dogs from street dogs by playing with approaching street dogs.

He also maneuvered an adolescent pit bull away from me once, sitting on him a couple of times like a mama dog. He backed me through the front door. The pit wouldn't give up.

10 A few years ago Boy F. was bitten by a pittie mix b"h he wasn't very seriously injured but he is still fearful of most dogs.

11 Most pit bulls I've seen are leashed and the owners are careful when in public. I'm guessing NoVA has some laws that are actually enforced. The Coven of Karens who rule the area don't want bit either. I did meet a very friendly pit bull once. At a pub in Scotland. I sat down with my beer and this PB started scampering towards me, jumped in my lap (it was REALLY heavy) and I just petted it. It seemed quite happy. A female dog I think. Not aggressive at all. Just happy and dumb. That can probably turn on a dime though.

12 In June I adopted a 10 year old ChiWeenie because the owner (a friend of my daughter's fiance) was going to send it back a shelter. I find that disgusting.

Anyway, although he's small he snarls and barks at my other dogs who are much larger. I am so far the only human that can touch him.

Does anyone have any sage advice on how to get him socialized?

13 I almost got bit by a PB walking to my car, but the owner grabbed it before any damage was done. That dog disappeared after a while. To many complaints.

We have had various kinds of pit bulls around us, and known people with pit bulls. Next door, the stocky kind, mother of the house afraid of them. One wrapped its chain around a column at our house once. I lured another back home with an ice cream cone. Never had a problem with them. But I've never dealt with more than one at a time.

Had friends with a pit bull which seemed naturally nervous and they had kids. Never felt safe around that dog.

16 A little girl I knew was bitten by a cousin's pittie because she touched it while it was eating. Her parents were having marital difficulties and she had the hospital call me to hold her hand while she got stitches.

The rule about muzzling pitties around kids may make sense.

Though touching dogs while they eat is not a good idea in general. Kids need to be taught, too.

17 I took Paisley T. Dog for a walk the other day and we ran into a possum. I didn't think they came this far north.

18 I put a boot to a huge pits ass just yesterday. It was attacking a neighbor in front of my house. He was defending himself with a stun gun and trying to keep his dog from fighting it. I came across my yard at about a hundred miles and hour and tried to punt its ass to pluto. He went airborne and landed on his side and took off with a limp (which I have a slight one now) This is the second time this dog has attacked him. He went to the hospital for the first one about a year ago. Nobody knows where it comes from. Next time I see it... it is going to die. In fact I hope I caused enough internal injury to kill it.
Animal control was prowling for him the rest of the day but I don't know if they got him.

19 We had a pitbull cross mutt. Quite a sweet dog to people and other dogs and was good with our cat, but if Ole (Ole and Lena) locked in on something (rabbit in an large pipe etc) forget about getting his attention. And he was attacked by a chow once. Boy howdy after that if he saw that chow Ole took after it first, never damaged the chow. I think that OCD focus on a target is why the breed is more dangerous as street dogs or with bad owners.

20 I think I may have another cat. Really wasn't looking for one. This is a young female that showed up over a week ago. Doesn't really have a winter coat. I found that she was at a neighbors for a bit, but their dog didn't like her. Mr Trouble is not happy. I am going to have to get her in to be neutered pretty soon. Not sure if she is six months old yet. Black and white with a white tipped tail. No name yet

21 All four of the kittens introduced by the new little mama cat at our house can now be touched. The little black one was the hold-out. He (or she) finally decided to scamper over my foot at playtime. He has sniffed my finger for a while, but now I can pet him when he eats. The garage is being torn up again.

All cute, all different.

26 Afternoon, Pet Folken!

I'm none too sanguine around most dogs, and pit bulls have a fearsome reputation. Better safe, etc.

The Killer Kittenz From Outer Space are doing well. Both were sleeping with me just now, Stirling the black cat along my left side and Dagny the little gray Siberian up nar my head. When I woke up I thought she wasn't there until I sat up and saw her by the headboard.

Dagny has been a little less aloof in recent days. If she's sleeping or dozing on the table or a chair, I can scoop her up. Miss Linda puts a cushion on my lap and I set the little cat on it . . . and she stays for some minutes as we pet her. Hey, maybe one of these years she'll actually hop into my lap on her own.

We saw a couple of live Pallas's Cats at the Birmingham Zoo in 2008. They are quite a bit bigger than your usual house cat, though not as huge as a bobcat or lynx. I read about them, with an accompanying illustration, in one of my kids' encyclopedias when I was young. Never had seen one in a zoo until B'ham. They don't often show up on nature shows.

Dagny looks a tiny bit like one -- except she does not have the flat head and low ears.

38 I have a dog that is not very friendly, and accordingly I keep him leashed at all times he's not in the house or the fenced back yard. I tell people to not get too close, and definitely not to approach if you're with another dog. It's not that hard to avoid problems. You're only going to get chomped if you break in to my house, in which case the 130 lb GSD will be the least of the problems in your short life.

43 Pitt Bull is an umbrella term for American Staffardshire Terriers, American Bulldogs, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and mixes of these breeds. Unfortunately, very poor breeding practices have resulted in unstable dogs - which is true for lot of breeds in many ways. Of course there are outliers who are super sweet, super friendly dogs - but it’s really difficult to know who is an outlier and who isn’t.

The issue with breeds like rotties or GSD is the standard poorly bred ones, which make the well bred ones share in bad reputations, but also people who get them and haven’t a clue how to handle or what to do with a high prey drive dog. You can’t take a dog whose sole purpose in life is to be a guard dog and then be shocked they are protective to both real and perceived (by them) threats. It is not fair to the dog to ignore training them, ignore giving them an outlet, ignore what the heck their breed is. I have had GSDs forever, I had the bestest girl Doberman. But they were all trained, and I mean trained. They were worked daily. They knew their job. And now I have this Shiba. 😂

44 I am very sorry about the loss of your dog, NEC. I should have said that as a start. It makes me so angry that people ruin dogs the way they do and it makes me angry there are people own dogs who shouldn’t have pet rocks. The consequences are felt by those who do the right things, like you. It’s heartbreaking.

45 Stirling just climbed into my lap for a few minutes. He'd have stayed longer, but he decided to close his sharp teeth on my wrist and then my robed forearm. Not a bite or snap, more like "I want to possess this." He only started doing this lately. When he does, I scruff him, say "No!" firmly, and eject him from my lap. I hope that will discourage him.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 10, 2026 04:45 PM (wzUl9)

46 Pitbulls are a handful. I rescued a couple of pitbulls off of the streets after they had been abandoned from the fight game. They tend to be aggressive and are asocial.

Not bad, just not something you want around children.

Aggressive, mostly male. Not so much female.

Because you are a responsible dog owner. Bless you. I am tired of people telling owners like you they are mean for muzzling their dogs on walks, etc etc. No, they know what they have and they are responding accordingly, and giving their dog the best life as a result. If someone breaks into your house, however, that is on them and if they are chomped by one, the other or both dogs, well bad have consequences!

48 My last GSD was a goofball, a trained goofball, but a goofball. My neighbor asked if he could borrow sugar. We told him Wolfgang was in the house, we weren’t sure if going in was a great idea, despite Wolfie knowing the neighbor very well. Neighbor went in anyway, got the sugar, Wolfgang was fine, happy to see him, walked to the kitchen with him, got a cookie, all great. Until the neighbor tried to leave with his cup of sugar. Wolfie said “nope, sorry, no can do.” He pushed the neighbor on the couch, and sat there staring at him, growling anytime the neighbor moved. My ex-husband had to come home from work and call the dog off.

58 So what is the real deal on pit bulls? There seem to be two extreme camps of "OMG THEY'RE ALL KILLERS KILL THEM ALL" and the also very idiotic "NO TRUE PIT BULL" when a pit bull goes and rips someone's face off. I imagine the truth is somewhere inbetween but would love to get put some fuckin' knowledge by people with legitimate expertise on the subject.

59 Thanks, KT, for another fine pet thread.

Ony the old black cat and Daisy the active young Malinois say hello. The year so far has been good. Daughter and Son visiting frequently with their two dogs each. Daisy enjoys the playtime.

Lately, Ony has taken to lying on top of me whenever I'm lying down. If I fall asleep, I notice she's always gone when I awaken. FWIW.

Daisy continues to be a great family member. A couple of mornings lately, like this morning, she has awakened me to be let outside. She no longer paws at me nor barks nor does her head-shaking ear-flapping collar-jingling. She just stands at the bedroom door and whimpers slightly, just enough. Even if it's still very early for me, I don't ignore it: it's part of our partnership. Besides, she got me up in time for the coffee and prayer thread.

65 ANY dog, you do not know what is lurking in their wetware. You don't know what has happened in just the few weeks they have been alive even if you get them as a puppy. Whoever had reef managed to damage him pretty throughly in 12 weeks. I am working on it, but his age is meaning he is acting out on a ton of stuff that I don't know it will affect him.

Example. Taking him for a walk last night. Going back up the steps to the apartment we get to the top landing and there is a door right beside the stairs across the breezway from my apartment. Someone was hanging something on the door, so they were hammering nails I think. Completely terrified Reef. He did not want to come up on the landing and just went into complete terror mode.

The other location where there were some attractive plants to photograph was one of the country's oldest monasteries, which is known for its gardens, as well as its antiquity.

3 Spectacular photos! The top flower reminds me of a trumpet vine we have around here, but the foliage doesn’t look at all like it. Other than that I recognize hydrangeas, tiger lilies, oleander, and of course roses. I wish I could stay there for a while!

Supposedly they taste like green beans. Blech.

11 We have what we call lilies here in the south that are edible. They are not lilies, though. They are delicious. Taste like squash. You have to gather them quickly or else the deer will eat them in one evening.

13 Japanese tomatoes that make it to home markets tend to be commercial varieties, flavorful but having characteristics like firmness and disease resistance that allow them to make it in the commercial marketplace. I can't remember what the name of the pink tomato "Momotaro" means in Japanese, but it reflects this, as I recall.

16 I took semi-hardwood cuttings of boxwood, back in August; put some in moist potting soil, others in water.

Roots are starting to appear on some of the in-water cuttings, yay! Looks like some of the in-soil cuttings have died.

No new growth yet on *any* cuttings, but I remain hopeful.

25 Top pic appears to be [campsis radicans], aka 'Trumpet Creeper,' it is pretty, attracts hummingbirds, and I would recommend never ever ever planting it.

Planted one almost 20 years ago and am still trying to eradicate it. It can destroy a lawn with its persistent spreading and sprouting habit, and will show up 20+ feet away from the original planting site.

Most successful cultivation of this vine I have ever seen is where it was planted against a very tall trellis in a small island bed in a large stone terrace area, then paved around with more flagstone.

Otherwise, do not want!

42 Last weekend of Christmas, so lots of the indoor stuff came down - trees hauled out. The lights outside will go through Sunday. Then off they go, and if I can get a decent sunny day over 40 degrees I can get them into the garage. I wrap a fair number of evergreens with white lights - they will stay lit during the darkness of January and February.

But I already have the garden work started. I was ahead of the game with garlic planting in the fall. I've ordered all my seeds for the spring and mapped out where everything goes. Next month I start the seeds indoors. Before we know it, it will be spring.

43 From Boise area: lows 28-46 F, highs 37-57. Trendline is toward mid-20's/mid-40's. I did see a dozen snowflakes on my windshield Thurs. morning, but that's been it for snow. We do have Johnny Jump-Ups flowering by the shed, because they haven't been covered by the snow we haven't got, or frozen out by the single digits we haven't got (yet?).

My amaryllis 'Ice Pink' has 4 open flowers plus 2 small buds. The bud stem reached 15 inches.

We packed up the tree ornaments and most of the lights. The tree still has to go outside - I will wear lots of layers, since the marks on my right arm from the blue spruce needles have only just faded, and I'm not interested in going for Round 2. I could do some raking as well - there are still sycamore leaves in the street side drainage ditches.

Collectivists vs. Rugged Individualists, January 10

mamdam uhaul.jpg

The New Champion

It seems like a long time since the year began just days ago, doesn't it?

Zorhan Mamdani may have made a mistake when he said this during his inauguration:

We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

Did people really think of New York government as based in rugged individualism? Do people who wish to be free from communism really think that they are totally independent agents?

Mamdani is good at smiling, but he also issues sound bites which we should maybe remember as the business of running the city presents itself. We will have opportunities to undermine the present popularity of socialism in at least a few minds.

Many people don't want to see poor Cea Weaver cancelled, just because she thinks home ownership = white supremacy and she hangs with a bunch of people who want to impoverish her mother, her family and ultimately each other.


* * * * *

Perhaps all those people with graduate degrees in NYC haven't noticed that he threw a block party with no food or restrooms.

But we can remember.

The Libertarians also remind us of a statement he made just after his election:

We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.

Should this declaration be applied to his actions as mayor on a regular basis?

What about all those white homeowners his administration plans to impoverish? Might they have some small concerns about which government could care?

. . . .

* * * * *

Music

How collectivist or individualist was Frank Sinatra in 1985? He sang, "It's up to you, New York, New York"


Ayn Rand warned us decades ago . . .

Maybe we should have stuck with the Constitution.

* * * * *

Other Collectivists and Rugged Individualists

Why are we downplaying momentous events in Iran? Melanie Phillips said this about Iran a while ago, and Trump has also responded. The internet blackout makes reliable information hard to get right now, but there is a lot goin on.

Phillips:

The terrible fact is that conscience in the West has become harnessed to absolute evil.


*

This is also a little bit dated.

Allowing young couples to become rugged individualists?

Trump is taking some action. Have you thought about his plans?

*

The warmth of collectivism?

Cancel Culture is still with us

The husband of Data Republican (small r) runs a small distillery in Salt Lake City. The Left is now trying to destroy his business.

Stephen Green: Hit Piece on Data Republican (Small r) Snares Her Husband

Data Republican (small r), whose mad genius database skills have laid bare the corruption and self-dealing between Washington and an army of NGOs, was the subject of a weekend hit piece in the Salt Lake Tribune — and her husband might have gotten the worst of it.

On Sunday, the Trib's "emerging news reporter," Brock Marchant, published an article that was little more than a summary of an earlier Rolling Stone piece that Jennica Pounds (Data r) says contains "multiple factual inaccuracies."

Rather than interview Pounds directly for his report — she isn't difficult to reach — Marchant contacted her husband, Brent, through his work email. He did so late on Saturday night, mere hours before the 6 a.m. Sunday publication.

Jennica posted that Brent "responded professionally" and explained that "his business activities are entirely separate" from the Data Republican website but that Jennica would reply later. "As a mother, my family responsibilities naturally took priority on a weekend, and I was unable to immediately respond to your inquiry."

Also, Jennica's deafness and autism often require assistance for clear communication.

"Instead of allowing me a fair opportunity to reply, you chose to rush publication," she continued, proving "you prioritize sensationalism over accuracy, fairness, and responsible journalism."

What happened next is predictable.

Incidentally, Data Republican's complex "X" post on how government types view systems rather than people, as applied to Venezuela, probably hurt some feelings.

Seeing like a State

THIS PIECE COULD EXPLAIN A LOT.

That's no excuse for destroying her husband's business, though.

I think her thinking home ownership is racist or whatever is fine. She's a retard. It is the part where she talks about impoverishing the white middle class that has people going 'Hey, maybe this bitch should not be in charge of housing in NYC.'

At the same time, pain has to come with making a mistake or people never learn anything.

This is what the left does. They did this to "Joe the Plumber", they did it to anyone who owned a restaurant or bakery or photo business or wedding business who opposed support for same-sex "marriage", they did it to the January 6, 2021 protestors and they're going to continue doing it. Data Republican's husband is just the latest example.

They do this as a warning. Dare to stand up against the left and they will destroy you and everyone around you.

This is why there are not many conservatives willing to become activists. Because they are not willing to deal with the consequences when the left comes after them. Especially when the laws are not applied the same to the left and conservatives.

After 58 Years of Service, CPB Closure Comes Following Congressional Defunding, Marks New Era for Public Media
Washington, D.C. (January 5, 2026) — The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the private, nonprofit corporation created by Congress to steward the federal government’s investment in public broadcasting, announced today that its Board of Directors has voted to dissolve the organization after 58 years of service to the American public.

The decision follows Congress’s rescission of all of CPB’s federal funding and comes after sustained political attacks that made it impossible for CPB to continue operating as the Public Broadcasting Act intended."

Posted by: Just The Numbers at January 10, 2026 11:16 AM

grok, what percentage of the population of NYC is on some kind of government handout?

No single official statistic combines "all government handouts" into one unduplicated percentage for NYC, as programs serve different needs and have varying eligibility. However, when including major benefits like Medicaid + SNAP, well over 40–50% of residents participate in at least one form of government assistance (Medicaid drives most of this due to its broad reach, including children, seniors, and low-income working families).

Smaller programs (e.g., SSI for disabled/elderly) add several hundred thousand more, but overlap heavily.

So the US military has some sort of sound wave weapon that can take out hundreds of enemies with one shot?

Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something — I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.

Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist?

Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.

51 The DataRepublican piece about “Seeing like a State” is deep, and very insightful . Far too much detail to even summarize, but what I got out of it was this : world leaders (ie, WEF) were happy to deal with Iran, Venezuela, etc as long as they played their designated role and were predictable. It didn’t matter that they were “good “ or “bad”, that does not matter to any of them.

And now comes Trump - he doesn’t care about stability, he’s a Disruptor - and every other leader in the world is terrified of him because of that . He destabilizes the world system, and none of them can now predict what will happen next.

There are questions at this point, as to whether the Veep and others were in on the op. That the Coobans who were loyal to Maduro were the only ones who really fought back.

Which of course, if you're going to HAVE a CIA that operates in foreign lands, you want them working on turning folks there, to smooth the op, but it's possible when this thing gets examined in full, it won't have been as spectacular a raid as we were made to believe at first.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at January 10, 2026 11:36 AM

Yes, the incidents you're referring to began in late 2016 at the US Embassy in Havana, Cuba, where American diplomats and personnel reported hearing strange grating noises followed by symptoms including headaches, dizziness, nausea, and cognitive issues that lasted for days or longer.

This phenomenon, later known as Havana Syndrome, was initially suspected to involve sonic or directed-energy weapons, with some investigations pointing to possible Russian involvement.

Similar reports have since emerged from other locations worldwide, but the cases originated in Cuba.

A 2024 joint media investigation suggested a specific Russian intelligence unit may have targeted US officials with such technology, though no definitive cause has been established by the US government.

Becca Good described her wife as a caring, generous person. “Above all else, she was kind,” Good wrote. “In fact, kindness radiated out of her.” Becca Good wrote that she and Renee had stopped that morning to support neighbors. “We had whistles. They had guns.”

In closing, Becca Good asked that her wife be remembered for rejecting hate and choosing compassion. “We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”

84 Pointing out the X post from Pixy's last post, about Large-Language-Model NPCs:
https://x.com/Devon_Eriksen_/status/2009393479886004403

Some X poster, some time ago, mentioned that it's a "Hallucination" when it tells you a "fact" that simply isn't true - quotes from a law case that does not exist, for example. It's ALSO a "Hallucination" when it tells you a fact you confirm as true. They're both hallucinations. One just happens to be correct.

In Pixy's link this morning (see above), it explains NPC syndrome. It's cargo-cultism of words, of sound and fury, but it signifies nothing. Magic phrases ("RACISM!" "NAZI!" "PATRIARCHY!") that dispense magic money to them. And it works, so why would they need to do something different? They don't understand the words, so they won't understand when they are Racists, or even Nazis, themselves. They can't understand.

It explains a lot about government. Bullshit work doing little or nothing. It's why there's so many meetings and press conferences - talk a lot with magic words, while bridges and railroads don't actually get built. The magic money still winds up in their hands, though.

Grok says this is not the case. But the summary is based on lack of online reports. So maybe they were trying to arrest the rapist, but it's not been reported online for Grok to get the information.

The operation was part of a large-scale ICE crackdown in the Minneapolis area targeting criminal illegal aliens, including sex offenders. One specific target mentioned in ICE statements around this time was Mahad Abdulkadir Yusuf, a Somali national and convicted sex offender from Somalia, who was wanted for deportation after being free due to sanctuary policies. ICE described him as a dangerous criminal who victimized Minneapolis residents.

However, there is no evidence in news reports, official statements, or related coverage that the person ICE was attempting to arrest at the exact moment of the confrontation with Good was this Somali man (or any Somali rapist of a 10-year-old and 18-year-old).

147 The US Federal Government just suspended ALL US Department of Agriculture funding to the state of Minnesota, in response to efforts countering ICE abductions. (1/9/26)

It’s time for the state of Minnesota to suspend all federal tax dollars. We pay more into the federal than we take in, and I’m tired of funding ICE when they’re coming in here and terrorizing our city. Also, it’s literally illegal for any Cabinet member to suspend funds. She will be sued, and she will lose.

I'm a fraud investigator in the private sector. It's the agencies job to review, verify, audit and prove someone qualifies for benefits. The federal benefits that were defrauded were due to a lack of oversight in their own agency.

The federal government is trying to make an example of us. “Bend the knee, or die.”

I’ll take option number 3: fight. Never thought that the civil war would start in MN.

Trump has repeatedly set down a red line (not precisely defined but pretty clear), repeated yesterday, after which we would "hit them very hard, where it hurts".

168 Momdani's popularity, much like AOC, is somewhat isolated at the moment.

But it should be understood as a clear signal to the right that many young people are saying the system is no longer working for them.

Capitalism is a proven winner when compared to other options, but that isn't to say in its current state it doesn't contain serious flaws.

The amalgamation of wealth at the top creates serious issues. Extremely high market-cap corporations can afford to eat long term losses without feeling fiscal pressure against their survival, enabling them to crush any entrepreneurial ventures that start up in an effort to create viable businesses through attrition.

At some point, the corporate/government partnership becomes indistinguishable from the communist model. It offers only the guise of the possibility of upward mobility and competition in appearance, but in practice it is trending rapidly towards a reality where the politburo lives in largess off of "donations", the sororities master lives in largess off of monopolistic control, but the man on the street struggles with less choice, less value and increasingly shrinking standards of living.

So why isn't it used in the US? I'm guessing for two reasons.
1. Could unjustifiably affect innocent bystanders, leading to the real reason -
2. Could cause serious injury or be fatal to persons, i.e., it is not a definite non-lethal or non-serious wounding device.

Reason #2 especially. Consider what happened with George Floyd. A simple standard knee to the back/neck hold turned into his death, because his health was compromised by all the drugs he was on.

Now imagine that this sonic weapon is non-lethal to the vast majority of people, but if one is health compromised like Floyd, it could lead to complications and death.

205 This is why there are not many conservatives willing to become activists. Because they are not willing to deal with the consequences when the left comes after them. Especially when the laws are not applied the same to the left and conservatives.

All true about being an activist because you need an utterly corrupt and amoral government to allow all of the anti-social and criminal behavior.

The Left has a no detent volume knob which they can rotate to any level of incivility and barbarism they want. Heritage Americans seek peace and order first and when that this threatened they just comply but are grumpy about it...

.... until a threshold is reached, where activism is never a viable option but survival is now or never. No knob, just a throw-switch, and when that throw switch happens people start crossing the Delaware on Christmas Eve and stay until peace and order are restored.

Thanks to social media and an Administration that absolutely loathes putting people in jail, the temperature is getting hot in the pot and that threshold is coming whether it is real or just in perception.

231 So if Iranian protest groups instigated a coup against the mullahs, you would approve of their government mowing them down, I presume?

That is a deliberately antagonizing and narrative shifting word when you say "approve".

If you had to grade on a scale of 1-10 the degrees to which Iranian action dictates American institutions and policy versus how much American action interferes with Iranian institutions and policy, how would you grade each.

I prefer as little interference as possible but I don't like in the made up work of Libertarians who insist if we just withdraw completely behind our borders the bad guys will leave us alone. That's childish.

And I have no problem at all with the US supporting the desires of the Iranian people over the demonic mullahs who have been terrorizing them for 50 years. The mullahs are soulless monsters and the sooner the world is rid of them and their poisonous ideology the better.

Shooting those who interfere, no. Arresting those who interfere and obstruct the officers from enforcing the law, yes.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think she was in the process of being arrested for obstruction of ICE? She not only resisted arrest, she tried to run down an ICE officer with her vehicle in the process.

Also, there is a right to peacefully protest. E.g. standing on the sidewalk out of the way shouting and screaming or whatever. But there is no right to obstruct law enforcement or block streets, etc.

That's where law enforcement/government has failed for decades now. Failure to prosecute and put these people in prison over the years has only allowed their tactics to escalate.

Uses real sugar, labeled "sugar." And turmeric and annato extract for the color, not yellow dye something. Still uses palm oil and soybean/canola oil, but I decided to give it a try. The turmeric makes the yummy cheese paste look just the same as it always did.

295 I attended a Stop the Steal rally in my tiny town back in 2021. Someone in a car was trying to argue with us and some guy stepped off the curb to hear what he was saying. Cops told him to get back on the curb and not obstruct traffic.

That's pretty much how it should be.

By the way, those same cops let a BLM caravan stop the thoroughfares the year before.


Posted by: Blonde Morticia at January 10, 2026 12:56 PM

Agreed, that's exactly how it should be. And it anyone disobeys the orders from law enforcement, they should be arrested and prosecuted.

But as you note, that's the problem I also noted earlier, the different rules of law enforcement when it comes to the left vs conservatives. Conservatives are held to a higher standard and the law is enforced against them, while the left is not held to any standards and have people in power directing law enforcement to not prosecute them.

This serves to embolden the left to escalate and discourage conservatives.

309 I've stayed late enough at work to catch the start of a couple of "Dave Ramsey" radio shows in the last couple of weeks. When Dave's daughter is hosting or co-hosting I find her condescending and her voice pitch is not pleasing to listen to like Dave's is so I've switched to a muzak station. Dave at least lived 'being broke' and making many of the common money mistakes before he got rich and seems to be able to relate, although he has no truck with folks who call in and want him to endorse them doing something outside of the Ramsey framework. That is understandable, he is selling that framework.
And honestly, the folks that are not savvy enough to take the framework and adapt it if needed to a unique situtation without getting the celebrity to agree with their change probably do need to just follow the script exactly to end up with a retirement nest egg instead of being in debt when they die.

Ross was a pedestrian. Does not matter if he is ICE or not, doesn't matter if he's in uniform or not, doesn't matter if she believed ICE has no authority to stop her vehicle, doesn't matter if he was not in a marked pedestrian crosswalk, doesn't matter is she did not intend to strike him.

I think Trump's goal is to make us a net exporter; we make so much oil we care for all of our needs PLUS export it to the countries where Russia and the Middle East dominate. Hopefully that still means you'd be able to keep the pumps going, since the market for your oil expands.

We were a net oil exporter at the and of Trump 1.0, if I recall. And then a Biden took over (spit) and the first thing he did in power was to cancel the keystone pipeline and piss off canada. Did everything he possibly could to ruin all of Trump's oil progress.

367 How would "dead naming" be handled? When you say "real names" are you referring to the name on official legal documents like BC, DL and passports or the names that they demand you use or be bludgeoned to death?

Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at January 10, 2026 01:25 PM (kHd4y)

Heh, interesting thought experiment. I haven't really thought about how any place would be able to enforce the real names thing other than requiring someone to use a credit card for verification. Or upload other proof of ID (e.g. driver's license).

Hardly anyone would do that. Which is probably the goal of those on the left who push for requirement of using one's legal name as opposed to pseudonyms.

Is this how people are being visited by cops and some arrested in the UK for their social media posts? Or does the UK have an ongoing system where they track IPs and track down people that way, regardless of the names they use on social media?

369 And it anyone disobeys the orders from law enforcement, they should be arrested and prosecuted.

Well...no. It needs to be a lawful order, i.e. one that the officer is in fact authorized by law to give and the person is by law obligated to obey. Your construction devolves very quickly into "I AM THE LAW" which some cops already seem to believe to be the case. As an example - A cop who tells a pro-lifer who is not breaking any laws to put his or her poster away under threat of arrest, and then arrests them for not listening to them, has violated that person's First Amendment rights and committed a false arrest and kidnapping. Under your rule, that would be fine and dandy. Your rule would create a totalitarian nightmare.

375 I wonder if to get around this ISP tracking, one would have to only post to social media from places outside the home, when you're not using your home's ISP?

According to Grok summary:

The UK does have systems in place to track users via IP addresses, regardless of the names or handles they use online. Police can request IP data from social media companies if there's suspicion of a crime (e.g., under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016). Platforms like X or Facebook log IP addresses for each session, and once obtained, police can subpoena the user's internet service provider (ISP) to link the IP to a real-world address and subscriber details.

This process doesn't require a crime to have been committed in every case but typically needs reasonable suspicion or a court order. It's how anonymous posters are often identified, even if they use fake names — ISPs maintain records that tie dynamic or static IPs to users.

This tracking has been used in the social media arrest cases mentioned above.

Only if there were zero consequences for false arrest and "kidnapping".

Like it or not, most states allow police to arrest anyone for anything and hold them for (depending on state) between 24 and 72 hours without even any charges.

What you are stipulating is that the entire justice system is so comprehensively corrupt that such behavior from a governmental position is "fine and dandy".

The normal process when a cop abuses their authority is to have your car towed, getting the physical abuse (aka "tune-up") thrown in a cell and then eventually you get an attorney to spring you, then another to sue the living hell out of the government for whatever grievance that you picked up along the way. (aka Ghetto Lottery)

When I summarized arresting and prosecuting someone who disobeys law enforcement officer's orders, I meant that they were lawful orders. Not just the whims of the law enforcement officer.

For example, people blocking the roads or obstructing justice by law enforcement officers to do their jobs should be arrested and prosecuted. Those are laws on the books. They should be enforced.

Austin TX experimented (they may still do this) with a street judge who was Right There when police were busting drunks for Public Intoxication and DUI along 6th street bars during party days or events.

For street blockages, at a minimum the police could just show up with some black school buses with the windows blacked out and welded shut and just start marching "detained" and flex-cuffed "protesters" into the bus and letting them sit it out through a hot summer afternoon w/o A/C or water until the bus is loaded and can be taken to the nearest rubber-stamp judge to do whatever.

I don't think I'm cool with your Marxism First approach to the subjective goal of "affordability". - aka "Tax the shit out of everybody else so I can have artificially low costs for my house"

You would be more successful with a more holistic approach by looking at TCO which includes property taxes, interest rates, insurance and on-going maintenance costs.

The city racks up a huge cost to the builder by demanding street and utility being paid for by the developer, also the increasing demands for green space that can't be sold and must be amortized in the cost of homes.

For example, forcing a developer to bury all cables makes the cost 4x-10x higher than using poles. This gets rolled into the price of a starter home.

The schools rape the taxpayer and that should be roped in to reduce TCO. Keeping criminals out would reduce insurance costs. Relaxing standards on "starter homes" because they are "starter homes" and not "life-long" homes would help pricing too. For example, there is no need to demand that starter homes brick veneer.

It's not really any kind of Marxism when people own their property.

434 We've gotten into the habit of renting an Airbnb every couple months and we love it. Far superior to the Marriot/Hilton travel we used to rely on. The direct comms with a human, not a corporate chain, makes everything much more flexible and easy. Even internationally, Airbnb is the way to go. None of the places we've stayed seemed negatively effected by the Airbnb presence. Some are guest houses, some are full properties, but they have all afforded maximum privacy, etc.

Property taxes can have interesting effects even if not intended to be punitive. (They always are)

Some really old cities charged based on linear frontage with the public street -> really long skinny pencil lots for the affluent and little squares for the poors, both paying the same tax rate.

Here, huge homestead taxe exemptions could punish renters of single family homes... Or encourage people to buy.
While lower appraise values for renal apartments could make them more attractive as starter homes....

Locally 100% disabled vets get 100% homestead exemption. NO property tax. BTW. Unless that vetvtold you they were "100% disabled" no one but them and the VA would have a clue they had any "disability" at all.

438 Steve Kerr's father was associated with an American School somewhere in the Middle East. Egypt, perhaps? And was assassinated. That may have something to do with his reaction.

Interesting. Though why isn't he anti-Islam when his father was assassinated by Muslim terrorists?

Via Grok:

Steve Kerr's father, Malcolm H. Kerr, was a Middle East scholar who served as president of the American University of Beirut in Lebanon (not Egypt).

He was assassinated by gunmen outside his office on January 18, 1984, amid the Lebanese Civil War, in an attack claimed by Islamic Jihad.

442 Ok, not saying you are wrong, but how do you feel about Trumps ban on larger conglomerates owning single family dwellings? Good or nah?

My first impulse is to shout Hallelujah, then my second was to see how much my REIT investments were tied up in owning single family homes. I may be guilty of this.

OK, there are a lot of major investment firms, beyond just Blackstone, Pretium Partners and Invitation Homes who are deep into this. They are providing a service - both to people w/o the down payment and pension and insurance funds who need a portion of their portfolios in reliable cash flow.

I don't see a Win/Win here, just yet another Win/Lose punishment of the Ownership class. I get it that the Have Nots want what the Haves have. I have sympathy, but I'm not the evil one here.

Look towards the 10-20 trillion stolen in the last few decades, the insane regulations and hyper-inflation, the tens of millions of foreigners who get free housing. I'm already being punished by watching inflation eat away at my retirement. The pain needs to be shared, not all dumped on one generation.

444 I don't know the details of the tax proposal, but I hope it's reasonable. I know for a fact (you can see months of bookings on the Airbnb page) that many of the places, even great properties on the water, etc. go unoccupied a lot of the time. If we pay 2,000 for a week in St. Croix, that 2,000 could reasonably be taxed, but what about the three weeks before and after when nobody picks their spot? Maybe tax the transaction but not the property. That might be the plan, I will look at it.

452 Property taxes can have interesting effects even if not intended to be punitive.

Agreed. There needs to be a load on land ownership otherwise it will be like domain name campers who buy up all of these cool domain names, pay nothing to keep them and then might sell them for thousands to tens of thousands to someone who might actually put the domain to use rather than parking it and no one benefits.

Out in my neck of the woods, there is something called a Club Lake where a number of shareholders own considerable acreage and a lake in common. Shareholders claim lots and lease them from the Corporation. The Corporation pays the property tax (among other things).

There are some really plumb lake-front lots where the "owners" pay nothing keeping the land empty with the thought that sometime in the future they can sell their share and lot-lease for more than they paid. They have no load, thus there is no incentive to sell unless they get a high value offer. No one benefits from the empty land.

469 I agree that property taxes are really just land rental taxes. But so many schools are paid for with them, I don't know how you stop it and "the children, think of the children!" Dont suffer.

I heard recently that in the 1950s-70s, over half of Americans owned a home. And now it's like 15%, and super low for Gen z and millennials. Thats depressing and wrong. Something is broken.

If Gen Z votes in socialism, part of it is they don't see a path forward for the American dream: own a home, raise a family decently on your salary, retire with savings and protection, not a slave to school debt and home debt and health debt and taxes.

That seems so far out of reach, so they'll reach for socialism. Even if it's actually poison.

Some of it is stupidity too. I remember the episode of sex and the city where all Carrie's friends find out she's still renting and are horrified. What do you mean you don't own?! Man, Carrie was so dumb. A good show to hate watch.

470 just google AI so huge grain of salt but "In the U.S., about 65.6% of households own their home, a rate that fluctuates slightly but generally hovers around two-thirds, with recent data from 2024 showing 65.6% ownership, up slightly from 2022's 65.8%"

Which would mean a LOT of single people if only 15% own. Or a lot of wives or husbands saying they don't own property if the property is in their spouses name or something.

In the 1950s-70s, American made things as the remainder of the West and Japan were digging themselves out of smoldering ruins.

Since there was no competition, unions could demand the earth moon and stars and get it. People got spoiled, adopted luxury beliefs, voted for open immigration, LBJ, endless wars, pristine landscapes, etc. All of this ended up being destructive to the culture and work ethic.

Because of industrialization, primarily in the Mid-West and around the Great Lakes region, there was more available land, allowing the working class to buy an acre or two and build a modest home, own a single car, join a bowling league.

Henry Kissinger and the Internet destroyed America by exporting jobs on an industrial scale. NAFTA smothered out the American Dream. Obama hammered in the last nail into the West's coffin - except we weren't dead yet but soon because we are running out of air in our buried ($40T in debt) coffin.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:

11/15 – Sponge posted an update on the “First lady”. She is doing OK from the surgery pain-wise, however it appears her compromised immune system from chemo is susceptible to viruses. She has been spiking a fever all weekend.
12/13 Update – The First lady is doing well. She is still on restrictions but things are progressing nicely. The last mammogram showed clean. They are grateful to all who have been praying for her.
1/7 Update – They send thanks for the thoughts and prayers over the past year. The latest visit with her urologist revealed blood in her urine. The Doc didn’t seem concerned, but there will be more scans of her bladder and kidneys to see if they find anything more serious.

11/20 - Bluebell sent an update on grammie winger - good news! At her appointment, the doctor said her bloodwork is nearly perfect and her cancer cell count is dropping. She is in minimal pain. The chemo is working, thanks be to God! She will go back in 3 weeks for another round of chemo and then they will do a CT scan to see if she can have surgery to clean out the rest of the tumors. She is convinced – CONVINCED – that this is due in no small part to the treasured prayers of friends and family! They gave her weeks, and now she is looking at possible remission.
12/17 Update – Bluebell sent along another update from grammie winger. She has had 4 rounds of chemo, which have fried her short term memory (her words) and caused great fatigue. She was scheduled for surgery this week, but the doctor decided she was too weak, so she will continue with chemo until she is stronger. She apologized for not being around much because she can’t follow conversations, but is praying that will get better once her chemo is over. In the meantime, she wishes to share her Christmas greetings with the “motley crew”, and she appreciates every prayer.

11/29 – From about That Time asked for prayers after a lymphoma diagnosis. From about That Time has already begun chemo, and the kids and granddaughter had fun cutting off a ponytail and shaving hair in preparation.
12/13 Update – The first week of chemo was “like buttah”, but the second week was spent in the hospital, dealing with side effects.

12/3 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted an update. She had an MRI on 12/3, and will meet with the oncologist on 12/4, the surgeon on 12/8, and the surgery on 12/11. This is a good thing, because it looks like more tumors are starting to crop up in her liver. It doesn’t appear to have spread beyond there yet, thank goodness.
12/18 Update – Teresa will have a “pump fill” on Friday, then head out of town. (The fill is just Heparin and saline to keep the pump flowing for the next 2 weeks.) After they are back, the pump will have the new chemo medication. The best Christmas present is, if this pump works, she could go 2-3 YEARS before worrying about the cancer coming back. It is truly a Christmas miracle. She wrote that they are blessed to have such stellar medical care nearby and so many people saying prayers on their behalf.

12/12 – Bulg requested prayers for his wife’s brother’s wife, whose dementia has taken a turn for the worse. This week she entered a memory care facility. He asks for prayers for her, Bulg’s brother-in-law, and their two grown daughters. Bulg also asked for prayers for a woman from church who has cancer, and the woman’s granddaughter, who lives with her.

12/13 – Our Country is Screwed asked for prayers for a dear friend’s 3 week old granddaughter who is battling meningitis. They are waiting on results from an MRI. Another friend’s wife is having kidney issues. She has only one kidney, and it isn’t functioning well.

12/13 – San Franpsycho requested prayers for Mrs. F, who sprained her foot due to a fall on 12/12.

12/13 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for retired organist Jessie, for strength and for her to feel God’s love. In the past month Jessie’s daughter has died from cancer, as have her two closest friends from church, whom she had known about 85 years.

12/13 – Schnorflepuppy asked for prayers for his wife. She was diagnosed a few weeks back with inflammatory breast cancer and started chemo on 12/2. On 12/3 she spiked a 104 fever and had to be brought to the hospital, where they discovered pneumonia. She has been in ICU for most of the week, to get her enough oxygen and work on the pneumonia. She is improving, but slowly.
12/22 Update – Unfortunately, the improvement trend has reversed. She has spent the last 8 days on oxygen support. The doctors would like to wean her off the vent eventually, but they need to see more improvement in her condition and thus far, they haven’t.
12/26 Update – Schnorflepuppy’s wife got progressively worse on Christmas Day and started a rapid decline, despite the best efforts of the doctors and staff. She transitioned to palliative care on 12/26 and passed away in the afternoon.

12/16 – Jim in Kalifornia sent an update that surgery went well, and his thanks for the prayers.

12/16 – Banana Dream asked for prayers for his wife, who is having surgery on 12/17 to remove pins, steel, hardware, etc. that was put in a year ago after a really bad break of her ankle. The hardware has caused various nerve issues and inflammation over the last year, so the surgeons will be removing it.
12/17 Update – Banana Dream sent his thanks to everyone who offered prayers for his wife’s surgery. It went well. The surgeon removed most of the hardware. There was one part that was too fused with the bone, so it had to stay in. She is doing well. In about 2 weeks, she should be able to walk and then in 6-8 weeks she should be fine.

12/17 – Annie’s Stew sends thanks to God for notsothoreau, who sends many, many prayer requests from the various comments and postings. Notsothoreau is so diligent and such a sweet person!

12/17 – Weird Dave requested prayers. His parents have realized they need to move to assisted living, but they are 1500 miles from Weird Dave. Prayers for clarity on how to make the necessary changes as efficiently as possible, as well as to find the best place for his parents, that will also work for the entire family.

12/20 – Legally Sufficient asked for prayers for a brother who was having carpal tunnel surgery on Christmas Eve. There was a cancellation, so he took the spot, even though the brother is hosting the family dinner on Christmas Eve.

12/20 – Morgan, longtime lurker, takes tango lessons from Sebastian, whose son, Matias, is recovering from brain surgery. The MRI were read on 12/19, and the surgeons did not remove the entire tumor. Even though the biopsy indicated the tumor was benign, the boy is probably facing several rounds of chemo. Please pray for the boy’s continued recovery in El Salvador.

12/20 – Nurse Ratched requested prayers for her friend T. He is having some unrelenting (probably cancer treatment related) pain and needs comfort – both physically and spiritually.

12/23 – Joe Kidd asked for prayers for his friend, Bill, who is grieving the sudden death of a former girlfriend. They had broken up a few months ago over her alcohol use. Bill describes the loss as the toughest thing life has dealt him. Bill is the sole caregiver for his 90 year old mother and may need to take early retirement to continue in that role. Prayers for comfort, strength, and wisdom are welcome.

12/23 – Prayers are requested for Inspector’s boss, “B”, who is in his early 40s, and is being hit hard by Covid. He went to ER, after coughing so badly that he separated a couple of ribs. The pain in his ribs is so bad he doesn’t want to cough, which increases the odds of pneumonia. Please pray for healing.

12/27 – buzzion asked for prayers for a friend named Christina. Christina has struggled with a lot, including addiction and relapse. Buzzion has not heard from Christina in a while and hopes she is okay. Please pray that Christina finds her way and knows that people love and care for her and believe in her.
1/3 Update – Christina was arrested on 1/3. Please pray for this to be a final wake-up call for her.

12/27 – JB asked for prayers that he would gain peace about what God has planned for his job in 2026. Also, please pray for JB’s estranged son, that he and his household will be saved.

12/27 – San Franpsycho posted a praise report from a former colleague, who has defeated metastasized uterine cancer.

12/27 – BlackOrchid requested prayers for a Navy Veteran uncle who has been struggling with his health the last few weeks. The root cause is undetermined, but recurrent infection/sepsis keeps sending him back to the hospital. It seems to be worsening his dementia, which makes it harder for BlackOrchid’s aunt to handle him.
1/3 Update – BlackOrchid’s uncle (her “stand-in dad” is still not doing well. He will probably need to be put in a LTC facility although they are doing everything possible to avoid this. He is 86, and at the stage where his immune system can’t fight back well.

12/27 – pookysgirl posted that their unborn baby girl, Violet Marie, had passed away.

12/27 – free tibet posted about his diagnosis with Giant Cell Arteritis and subsequent vision loss in the right eye. This is a recurrence of the same from 5 years ago in the left eye. The treatment is not painful but regaining vision is “very iffy”. Thank you all for the prayers.

1/1 – L asked for prayers for her brother Ron, who is hospitalized. Ron has been in and out of the hospital for 6 months. He has a nasty infection in his knee, that will not clear, despite 5 rounds of antibiotics. L and her sister have been run ragged trying to help Ron.

1/3 – Legally Sufficient asked for prayers for the repose of the soul of a boss, who passed away suddenly early Sunday morning. Prayers are appreciated for strength, faith, and understanding for the boss’ wife and all who loved him.

1/6 – Diogenes requested prayers for his best friend since college, who was diagnosed with cancer. Within hours or hearing this, the friend’s son, a man that Diogenes has known since he was a baby, collapsed from what appears to be a brain tumor. The prognosis isn’t hopeful. Please pray for both of these fine men.

1/6 – Commissar of plenty and festive little hats sent prayers of thanks that it was not cancer, and asked for prayers for courage to even set a date to reverse the colostomy surgery. It was a lot to get over the first time!

1/7 11/6 - D sent an update on his wife Susan, and her battle with pancreatic cancer, as well as her recent infection. He sent his thanks to everyone for the prayers. They are helping and much appreciated. Susan’s infection finally has been healed, so she was able to resume chemo. It’s been really rough.

Those are important points, but what is even more obvious is that none of these people are able to look beyond the moment of crisis to understand what happens next.

As some of you know, I am a Certified War Planner (tm) and when doing planning, you have to go through the entire cycle of the campaign. This necessarily includes building in (as much as possible), extra resources for the inevitable attrition. To give a very simple example, let us say the operation calls for a very modest show of force, say two fighter-bombers flying top cover over a given point.

How many aircraft does that take? Well, it depends on range, payload, and duration. What I can say is you need more than two. You need at least four, but six or eight is ideal. That's because aircraft break on their own. If there is a threat of hostile fire, the mission requirements increase dramatically.

These nuts figure that all it will take is one ICE agent getting shot or killed and then they win.

34 (cont) We see this time and again. They pull off some hoax or cheat at the ballot box and try to declare the game over. This is like calling a football game because you scored the first touchdown. It ain't over till its over and in the real world, it's never over. All victories are temporary unless you spend the extra effort to secure them, and even then the afterglow will fade in time.

The question is therefore not whether going kinetic will work, but how kinetic one has to get to win, and I guarantee that ICE and the feds have a much, much deeper bench than they do. Their troops are better protected (more likely to survive) and will rise to the occasion rather then recoil.

The farther we climb up the escalation ladder, the freer the government's hands get. They have no idea what they are playing with.

38 These nuts figure that all it will take is one ICE agent getting shot or killed and then they win.

There is a lot of truth to Trump being called TACO - especially when it comes to domestic policy.

Foreign policy, Trump points at something, and that something happens (except for Ukraine/Russia).

The black pilling occurs because Trump eventually identifies a problem, throws theatrical levels of force at it, a judge steps in, and Trump finds another squirrel.

The arrests and prosecutions are basically felonious mopery levels of crime.

So yes, the can kill one agent and much bally-hoo about a more aggressive ROE issued in response, a judge steps in and Trump finds some other cat toy.

40 This is also why the hand-wringing about the midterms is stupid. Seriously, we've had multiple example of panicans being exposed and grifters self-identifying. This is another one of those filters.

So much is going to happen between now and November that there is zero point in worrying about it. Focus on the 50 meter target, not that blip on the horizon. None of your fancy focus groups or betting markets will matter if bullets start flying, and an economy with 5% growth is going to matter more than some dumb bill no one has ever heard of. When gas hits a buck a gallon and summer employment opportunities surge because so many illegals have left, that will completely upend the calculus.

Oh, and those investigations are being timed for effect. You announce the indictments *after* the ballots have been finalized, dummy.

You have it absolutely wrong.

Trump is maintaining a continuous campaign, driving deeper into enemy territory. When he hits a pocket of resistance, he leaves a screening force and drives on. What he does not do is whine and obsess about the obstacle.

The cases never go against him. They don't report it, but he wins. He always wins. Even when he loses, he ends of winning because he turns the precedent to his advantage. Anyone who whines about Bondi is a grifter. She's a combination IQ/grifter litmus test.

People who know the law, who know what he is doing have noticed this. Like with Maryland Man. He was supposed to defy the court directly and provoke a constitutional crisis, but kept shifting ground, finding new legal justifications until the case was tied in knots. Now the judge has had it taken away from him, but is still driving forward to claim jurisdiction he doesn't have, and hold Trump in contempt for something that never happened.

Except Trump has demonstrated on so many occasions that there is a lot of bluster, the fashion model Secretaries make vague but tough sounding prophecies, one or more judges say "no you aren't", then we don't hear ever again about The Plan.

This is exactly why we are heading to Civil War 2.0. It is now inevitable because the administration is fighting with both hands voluntarily held behind their back and hoping that shouting the right magic words will win the day.

We The People know what time it is. The Administration doesn't. To them its a game to win the mid-terms through optics and hope that enough RINOs cut a few million dollars here or there.

At what point, when we see the Administration is all bluster no action and that they are stopped by even rogue judges, will We The People stop paying taxes and find that the only voting that matters is from the rooftops?

Absolutely. They are always playing catchup. This is the biggest difference between his first term, when he had to pause at each halt, and figure out how to reduce the strongpoint.

The Dems have had multiple situations where the same day they roll out their talking points Trump renders them moot and attacks on an entirely different line of effort. They are flailing. The wave of stays looked imposing, but it's funny how irrelevant it is now. None of them actually stuck.

Trump also understands that these rogue judges are pissing off everyone around them. There are actual matters before the court that are not being dealt with, and even sympathetic judges are getting pissed because their dockets are bulging at the seems while these idiots prance and preen. Again, the judges only thought short-term, not whether the effort could be sustained. Trump is grinding them all down, hammering every sector, all the time. It's like the 1918 offensive with limitless reserves.

Bless you. This is the most important thread here for me, because it is so important and humbling. Yesterday, for whatever reason, technology was my enemy. We had two power outages, my work computer glitched for an hour and my phone decided to take up the slack when I got home. Frustrating!

But also trivial. It is so easy to get lost in the details and forget to hold those we love close and treasure every moment we have with them. I'm sitting in the comfy chair with my cat snuggling on my feet, in warm dry house, and it so easy to ignore these blessings. Your post reminds me that Mittens will not always be here, and so I need to take joy in moments like this.

Trump is maintaining a continuous campaign, driving deeper into enemy territory. When he hits a pocket of resistance, he leaves a screening force and drives on. What he does not do is whine and obsess about the obstacle.


He whines all the time. Does he even do a briefing where he doesn't whine about Fake News, Rogue Judges and what ever is top trending on X?

Like with Maryland Man.

As I said, Foreign Policy? Best President ever.
Domestic policy? Excellent Theater

Where is Maduro and where is Maryland Man?
Maduro is sleeping in Epstein's cell, Maryland Man is out on the streets - complete and total embarrassing failure.

78 Schumer surprised everyone and came out with a very anti Hamas statemen last night, and anti the pro-Palestinian protesters in NYC.
I think this is a signal, and Schumer has realized that all the anti - Israel money flowing in from Iran is about to be cut off for good.

It’s going to be funny watching them suddenly admitting Trump’s been right all along.
Even more fun watching the pro-Pali movement collapse.

86 Okay, enough. No action? Really? Name a president who has more to advance conservative goals than Trump.

You confuse "action" with "theater".

Lets take the response to fraud in Minnisomalia. The Biden DOJ was already putting in token prosecutions and the same Leftist losers in the DOJ are just plodding along and mailing in prosecutions.

Trump orchestrates a beautiful theater campaign using Nick Shirley and others to "expose" what is going on for decades. That is all we talk about (until the next squirrel). Then a Secretary walks up to a microphone and announces cutting off aid. Applause, fireworks, Hallelujahs in the strees. The next day a judge steps in and says "Nope - Taxpayers need to keep funding the fraud".

By all accounts it was via this school mzzz Good learned about ICE Watch, received some amount of "training" and was ostensibly organizing protest activities.
Are they in any way liable for her death?

96 The question is therefore not whether going kinetic will work, but how kinetic one has to get to win, and I guarantee that ICE and the feds have a much, much deeper bench than they do. Their troops are better protected (more likely to survive) and will rise to the occasion rather then recoil.

The farther we climb up the escalation ladder, the freer the government's hands get. They have no idea what they are playing with.

There is a seamless web of money and resources flowing among our adversaries and the notion that foreign policy is not connected to domestic affairs is completely false. China money is sloshing through the DNC and all the Antifa groups.

Trump gets this, and seizing all those tankers actually does impact domestic policy by starving them of resources. That's another thing people aren't seeing: he's strangling them economically.

It's interesting: the top story for China-watchers this week is Maduro. It is a body blow to the CCP, and everyone in Asia knows it. The CCP invested huge amounts of resources and propaganda into Maduro and it's all gone. The loss of face is staggering and the CCP's legitimacy is in tatters.

Executively, I'd imagine implementing the Insurrection Act. I would think most, if not all of the criteria for implementing that have been met.

Revitalizing American Manufacturing - THEATER
Slashing trade deficit by half - FOREIGN POLICY
Breaking DEI - What exactly did Trump do?
Dropping Oil Prices - FOREIGN POLICY and stop attacking oil producers. (that is stop doing what the previous admin was doing)
Reversing the flow of illegal aliens - letting ICE finally do their job as the law requires.

So Trump's wins were foreign policy or theater, or simply quit attacking Producers. The AI Tech Bubble was going to happen regardless of who is in office.

By the way, the Trump legacy in the economic sense can be totally shit-canned by how SCOTUS rules on tariffs.

All other "benefits" are hypothetical like bombing Iran's nuclear sites. Taking Maduro, people are still wondering the scope of the hypothetical "benefits" towards We The People.

It is consistent with my view, Trump is great on foreign policy (until SCOTUS scuttles most of it).

Look, it's clear that all you want to see is negative stuff.

Pancreatic cancer is a silent killer. Most people unaware until it is too late. Chemo, radiation rarely make a difference.

But the surgery is difficult, affects the ability to eat. 5 months after the surgery including two months of hospitalization, he died from Sepsis.
So, LaSue, I feel your pain. I don't know why there is not more research being done. Early detection would make a world of difference.

Reza Pahlavi, the presumptive, has announced he is returning to Iran, and is calling on elements of the Iranian Army to rally to his support, and on the Iranian people to take and hold the cities, and to either hold or destroy regime buildings.

Don’t think this is happening without heavy US support. So many forget that for any revolution to be truly successful, it has to be seen by all as coming from the people themselves. Any new government imposed by a foreign power will never have legitimacy and will always fail.
(See Afghanistan and Iraq)

Trump and Rubio have one of the most difficult jobs that can ever be attempted - how to bring about the replacement of a hostile government while publicly appearing to do nothing at all.

194 Huh. Some researchers are now theorizing, based on the data they’ve seen this far, that the rise in autism has been substantially over inflated.

There has been a rise in “diagnosis” that correlates almost directly to a rise in federal spending, especially through Medicaid, but also in other federal programs that make benefits for autism available.

In case you haven’t noticed, these programs are being uncovered as massive fraud vectors, and the documentation for eligibility is often non existent or greatly subject to manipulation.

So- the “rise” in autism is due to the huge pot of federal taxpayer money that frauds have taken advantage of, therefore creating a fraudulent over reporting of that condition?

More to come.

He claims he wants to be a transitional figure, a la King Juan Carlos after the death (finally!) of Franco. If he is wise, that will be the path he takes, but people who get a taste of power have a tendency to want to keep it. Let's hope he 1) gets the power, and 2) hands it over expeditiously once a transition to democracy is in place. That is the true way to cement his place in history.

King Juan Carlos I was handpicked by dictator Francisco Franco as his successor, but instead of preserving the authoritarian regime, Juan Carlos famously steered Spain towards democracy after Franco's death in 1975, dismantling the dictatorship from within by legalizing parties, establishing a new constitution, and thwarting a coup, marking a dramatic reversal of Franco's vision for Spain's future

Two things can be true at the same time. Cases of autism can be rising and fraud can exaggerate the extent of that rise.

I urge you to watch RFK's presentation on autism from a few months back. The data he cited was from several states who conducted annual screening for autism starting 50 years ago, long before federal funds were in play.

It's kind of sad to look back at a time when the education and medical establishments were honest, and wanted good data, used standard, consistent protocols because they wanted to understand reality, not push an agenda.

222 169 Is the Iran situation moving in the right direction? Haven't heard any new reports since early morning.
Posted by: Bigsmith at January 10, 2026 09:29 AM (1Au9i)

Night is falling again in Iran - this is going to be the third night in a row with almost everyone in Iran out in the streets, rioting. All internet is shut down, all phone lines (land and cell) are shut down, the electric power grid appears to be shut down for most of the country. The only news coming out is from the Starlink phone connections that Elon has given free access to, and that Mossad agents are trying to smuggle across the country (they have acknowledged this)
What is hopeful is that the regime should have struck back much harder, and yet there are many rumors of widespread dissension in the military, and possibly some unit level defections already.

225 >> Which is infuriating not just because of the waste of money, but because autism is a very real condition, and those who have it need help.

Absolutely. And if you know anything about medical research, you’ll also realize this greatly affects finding cures and treatments.

To wit, if your dataset includes otherwise perfectly healthy people, or people who don’t really have autism, you corrupt that dataset with bad information. That leads you in the wrong direction as you search for treatments, which you take the time to trial, and which don’t ultimately work because most people in your dataset don’t have autism.

Just think about that for a moment. Not only are the frauds stealing taxpayer money, they are taking resources from people who really need it, and worse delaying the development of treatments and potential cures for autism.

230 There has been a rise in “diagnosis” that correlates almost directly to a rise in federal spending, especially through Medicaid, but also in other federal programs that make benefits for autism available.

I know a few people who's "kids" are autistic.

The biggest problem worrying them is what happens when they die. Several care for their autistic at home because they can't afford a care facility.

Instead, of wasting money on fake autism claims, it would be nice if the gov't were actually building safe care facilities for the severely autistic.

Not gonna happen but I think it might be a worthwhile use of money, if monitored properly.

235 New War Game Scenario:

You are the owner of a Hilton Branded Hotel, a budget one, so your margins are low already.

Government, who are unlike guests who bring in hookers or sugar stoked children, are low risk and generally clean but because of government rates bring in low-risk revenue at modest margins.

So you, as a foreigner, decide housing ICE overnight is not a good idea because insurance usually doesn't cover damage by riots and terrorism and you are plugged in enough of the community to know that if the Destroyers can't stop ICE they can surely get to anyone they do business with - like you.

Making a thousand dollars is not worth risking having your hotel set on fire. So you quietly discourage ICE from staying in.

Then Social Media exposes your risk mitigation strategery and now you lose your access to the Hilton reservation and branding.

Oh, and the miscreants are already destroying hotels and restaurants that serve ICE agents.

What to do?

Very true. However, as the late Sen. Moynihan famously said: we have the right to our own opinions, but not our own facts.

When someone reels off a set of assertions that are at odd with reality, the discussion is over. I mean, I've been involved in deep debates (online and in person) where before we even get going, everyone has to agree to the facts. Once that happens, you can have a serious discussion. What I saw is that that necessary foundation doesn't exist. All that remains is the shouting.

No one knows how to define “fallen”. They’ve lost control of the streets, certainly. The best part of the uprising is also its greatest weakness; it is truly a bottom up, grass roots rebellion. (Wat Tyler comes to mind). But because of that it has no leadership, no recognized spokesman, no focal point by which you can say “ah they have taken power now.”

If Reza Pahlavi can return and garner some military support, that will change quickly.

Yeah, ignore all Google "life span" data...the silver lining of COVID was so much money got thrown into immune type work that blood cancer research skyrocketed...and while you might not feel lucky, CLL and MM were the 2 cancers that got the most money (mine is rarer so it doesn't get research for it, but steals from the other blood cancers) and made the most jumps, so what is possible today is so much more than what was.

The biggest thing for blood cancers is to keep staying here and staying well b/c treatments are advancing like computer chips used to...so I follow an anti-inflammatory lifestyle which included daily low impact exercise (aka walks) for 50 minutes. The better you feel going into treatment, the better you do.

250 >> Two things can be true at the same time. Cases of autism can be rising and fraud can exaggerate the extent of that rise.

Oh, I don’t completely disagree. But I believe you have to consider the definition of what autism is has expanded over time. That doesn’t mean it isn’t completely real, but it is something that needs to be considered and many people don’t. It could be that other conditions existed which we now classify under the banner of autism, but you have to account for that.

That being said, it’s my personal opinion that once you remover the noise, fraud, over-diagnosis and expanded definition we will find a much smoother trendline for autism. That will even for us by narrowing the places we look for treatments and cures.

Lastly, don’t forget the Feds have continually expanded a lot of the covered services for autism, and it’s my option a lot of the people receiving them either don’t need them, they’re not helpful (demonstrably on a percentage basis) and is money not well spent.

A lot of jackasses have hurt the development of such facilities. That’s because they wedge them into banners like “institutionalization”, or purport they are violations of people’s civil rights, just like the mentally ill and homeless. The problem also becomes that you lose certain parental rights as the children get older and that makes doing spme of these things more difficult. They have to change some of the laws which allow a parent to ultimately make these decisions. The only people making money on that right now are lawyers.

RFK addressed the idea that detection has improved, awareness increased. The data was collected during state-mandated standardized testing which did not change much over time. IIRC, North Dakota was one of the states but there were some others. The rise was consistent across all samples and demographics, and - this is key - females did NOT see the gains males did.

Federal Judge Blocks $10B Childcare Funding Freeze

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s freeze of roughly $10 billion in federal childcare and family-assistance funding to five Democratic-led states. California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York.

The administration cited widespread fraud concerns, particularly in Minnesota. The states sued, arguing the freeze was procedurally improper.

The order maintains funding for now while the legal challenge proceeds.

What I would like to know is why the federal government seems to be obligated to send taxpayer money to states. And the federal government has to prove a reason why it can cut off this money. It should be the opposite. The default is no money from federal government and states have to prove why they deserve it. Annual audits of how the money is spent.

It's one thing to say that the Deep State has been sand in the gears, it is another to say that NOTHING has changed regarding DEI. That's flat-out false.

The Deep State is in fallback mode. They're being purged from the government and all the activist judges can do is put TROs that will be overturned on appeal. They almost always are.

Fixating on Maryland Man, for example, is playing the left's game. Trump is happy to let them celebrate their stupid symbolic victory when millions of others are on their way out the door.

Making Maryland Man the focus is exactly the wrong move, it's what they want Trump to do.

I think the problem is that so much has changed and the world has gotten back to normal - the normal we enjoy and love - that it's easy to forget just how jacked-up it was a year ago.

338 Things to consider in any analysis of autism trends and causes:

1. It is not a condition with a single gold-standard diagnostic test or metric.
2. It is not a condition with a clear cut distinction from the general population, hence the use oof the word 'spectrum'
3. Diagnostic "criteria" are all over the map.
4. The diagnosis is sticky. That is, once that label is applied it is nearly impossible to remove it.
5. It likely is multifactorial, and statistically distinguishing the relative contributions of variouss factors in a large population is a major challenge (see #1, #2, #3 above)
6. External factors (societal trends or fads, teachers, on-line groups, etc.) are potential confusing variables

The black pilling occurs because much press is given to Trump's initial announcement. Much press is given to the 'brave' judge ruling that the President can't be permitted to enforce the law. Almost no press is given, a couple months later, when the appeals court or SCOTUS slaps the district judge down.

The black pilling occurs because even older - allegedly wiser - people have become accustomed to an instant noodles in the microwave world. They have become incapable of waiting just a bit for the resolution of an issue which has been building for over a century.

Also, a lot of people are whiners.

The thing you have to ask yourself is simply this: if Trump is just making harmless noise, why do we have sitting governors talking about armed rebellions? Why are judges going out of their way to destroy the credibility of the legal system which has been the foundation of their power for 50 years?

Trump just keeps winning in court, and he's about to peel away even more made-up rulings to unleash even more executive authority. The amazing thing about Bondi's work is that each case comes with multiple authorities. The judge puts a stay on the one thing, so they then do it again under a different authority.

But the stuff is getting done. The border is closed. That is an epic win. Out-migration is happening. That is also huge. And now voter corruption is being exposed.

That's endgame. An honest election will shift many states (like Michigan) from purple to red. That's why the Dems are trying to start a war.

I did not say nothing has been done. Lots of good things have happened. I’m saying we tend to focus on headlines and then move on.

A good example is when Trump announced all that foreign investment that would be coming in. It was trillions in total from various foreign companies and/or countries. One of the Arab states (was it Saudi?) said it would invest $500B when Trump was over there. Has anyone gone back to see if any money has actually been invested yet? Are there any plans drawn up, anything?

I was not referring to you.

The investments are happening, and as we move into construction season you will be seeing more site preparation if not actual groundbreakings.

The demand for labor will soar this summer - in part because of all the construction but also because the labor pool will be smaller as the migrants continue to leave.

By the way, Maduro sitting on ice is a domestic issue insofar as it lowers energy prices, reduces the quantity of drugs and it permits Venezuelan re-settlement in their homeland. It also defunds terrorist gangs.

Trying to draw hard, impermeable lines between foreign and domestic is either retarded or dishonest.

360 Trump orchestrates a beautiful theater campaign using Nick Shirley and others to "expose" what is going on for decades.

Trump's AUSA, who has been on the job for less than 6 months, already has almost 100 convictions. All that happened before Nick Shirley. Trump has flooded Minnesota with ICE, and DHS, and FBI, and God knows what else.

But your personal favorite youtuber hasn't mentioned that, I guess, so nothing is happening.

Even the "win" is a double-edged sword, since there will be a definitive ruling and that in turn is going to cause many stakeholders problems. The whole spending network, which is based on the reliable flow of cash, is experiencing a system shock unlike anything before.

The smart ones are making exit plans or having to figure out how bad the layoffs will be. The employees also have to start looking for new work, and they better do it now, before the pink slips go out.

397 “ t's been pointed out, ad nauseum, that he keeps winning these judicial issues.”

Except when he doesn’t. All those govt layoffs? No more.

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday dismissed an appeal by the Trump administration to overturn a lower court’s order halting impending federal reductions-in-force.

The government filed an unopposed motion on Dec. 31 to voluntarily dismiss its appeal, without explaining why it was abandoning the effort.

On Dec. 17, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston issued a preliminary injunction extending a block on impending federal reductions-in-force, ruling that certain agencies violated a congressional prohibition by notifying employees of separation in early December.

To be specific, it was a Supreme Court Case, Arizona vs United States (actually Obama) 2012.

Arizona was still red at the time and wanted to enforce immigration law even though the feds wouldn’t. Obama and the 2012 Suprene Court said “oh no you can’t !” I believe Justice Kennedy wrote the decision.

Allow me to disagree. There are two things that can happen.
1) The objectionable behavior stops.
2) The people who perpetrated the objectionable behavior are punished.

If you are still here.

Getting into research in just about any field requires a masters degree.

Bachelor degrees even in STEM areas are really just going to get you in at the lowest level. Doing research is considered to be a premium employment space.

Finding a Coop program at a nearby school would really be a good step instead of banging his head against the wall. You want to cram as much education as you can afford in your younger years.

This is the first time NASA has ever had to do a medical evacuation. They've had contingency plans for it of course, but never had to use it.

This is not the "emergency bugout" version of this, which they do have plans for as well. This is the slower version. The astronaut, whoever it is, is stable enough they can take the slower version. He/she needs to come home, but can wait a bit.

28 The 1950s noir [i[The Big Combo with Cornel Wilde is on Movies! I watched it on YooToob during the Sniffle Scare. It's a good crime flick. There are some controversial-for-the-time scenes in it, including an implied gay relationship between two hoodlums for hire played by Lee Van Cleef and Earl Holliman. Nothing overt, but the two men live together and sleep in the same room, and in a later scene in their living room both are wearing pajamas and robes; and when one is killed, the other is badly broken up and openly weeps.

Still, they are ruthless killers, not sympathetic underdogs. Interesting stuff.

Wonder who's going to want to buy those California properties and presumably face the confiscatory billionaire tax? Or maybe they're holding onto the property while not holding onto their California residency.

Those taxes never work. Now there will be a permanent hole in the CA budget. Norway lost tax revenue that way last year.

But it makes the commie Inner Party feel better.

145 David Eriksen's "LLM People" post explains a lot. It's cargo-cultism, but with words.

It explains a lot of college-"credentialed" people present at the levers of power. They weave a lot of bullshit during press conferences, but we always assumed it was like parlor tricks, showing you the one hand with the other doing the actual trick. Except, no, they're only waving the one hand around.

It explains why nothing gets done with said people as well - meetings to speak, but no action and progress. So you're 10 years into a new railroad, with only one percent built. Probably during the very first year.

It explains the lack of merit-based people as well - They do, not talk. Talking is an annoyance, BECAUSE there's no action. That rubs the LLC'ers the wrong way, so away they go.

It explains the NPC behavior we've memed about. Their sources say something. They copy and repeat it. No cognitive dissonance, because there's no cognation. And you can't argue logically - no logic to it

Perhaps it also explains the "Left Can't Meme" meme.

Brezhnev's mind was mush as of autumn 1979. He was Biden-tier.
The people making the decisions were KGB (Andropov), the Party, and the diplomatic corps (Gromyko). I'd say the military too but they were outmaneuvered.
I think you are probably right that the Soviets were looking at revolutionary Iran and thinking that the mullahs weren't going to last against the Tudeh and other leftist parties. The US under Carter obviously was a joke.
It turned out that the mullahs had Khomeini who was even more ruthless than the commies, who as I mentioned were run by a pants shitter at the time.

143 I love the meme about hand made gifts. I used to give them more. Oddly when I was super busy raising sons and working.

I clearly remember a Christmas gift for one grandmother, a huge embroidered iris picture (she was a master gardner and bred or something iris). I was weeping as I had to finish it to have it framed. In the end it was beautiful and now in my mother's bedroom, to be mine someday. Now that I have the time I get nothing much done. But 2026 is going to be different!

I think my husband used to just figure this was part of the holidays and get me another glass of wine.

Anendophasia (not having an inner voice, or the "voice in your head").

Aphantasia (inability to voluntarily create mental images).

The latter is fascinating....try this quick self-test. Close your eyes and try to picture a bright red apple.
Can you see its color, shape, shine, stem, or any details vividly?
Or is it just a blank/dark screen, a vague"knowing" of what an apple is, or maybe concepts/words instead?

155 Our GSD chewed up all of my wooden spoons because I kept forgetting and leaving them on the stove top. But during her last few years she quit counter surfing because of hip displaysia and arthritis, so we got careless. After she died, we got two medium sized dogs. A lot of our conversations started with "We did have a loaf of bread, didn't we?" or "Where'd the whatever go?". Doggie #2 turned out to be a champion counter surfer. We eventually learned not to leave anything resembling food out on a counter or the stove top.

True, OE. If I have a character with an accent, Russian, say, who leaves out articles when he speaks English ("I went to house to get car"), I "hear" him talk, and that is definitely not my voice.

I think what they mean by "voice" in fiction is a distinctive way of putting things into words. Rex Stout's Archie Goodwin, who narrated the Nero Wolfe mysteries, certainly had a distinctive voice and way with words.

Nope, not super straight, highlighted blonde, and all the same length 4" below shoulders. It is naturally wavy/curly, but I set it on hot rollers after I wash it and tada! done! til next time!

In HS and college, when it was to my waist, to get it to behave I slept with a fruit cocktail can on top of my head (pony tail on top, then wrapped around the can). Had duct tape on the edges. Classy!

This was so normal for me to try to get it straight there is a photo of me in my swimsuit with baby brother by the pool, taken by our aunt. I guess church the next day because I rarely dated.

I should blow up the photo for the gallery downstairs to confuse our sons and grands someday. Maybe photo shop a bone vs the can like Pebbles Flintstone.

Others were ironing their hair straight and my mother said no. She said no to a lot of things and I mostly behaved.

208 I never considered what it would be like to not to see vivid images in your head. I do it all the time with the harleys to diagnose problems. As soon as somebody tells me about a problem they're having my brain immediately runs the movie. If its a transmission problem I see the entire transmission in my head in real time in full operation and "see" the problem. If it's electrical I just about go into Tron mode and surf the wiring. Weird maybe, but if it takes me more than a few minutes to diagnose something its a bad day for berserker. The other dude at this one shop is different. Somebody tells him a problem and he just writes it down. Nothing going on in his head, just words on paper. "Guy said he's having a problem with his clutch, it probably needs a clutch, so I'm going to order one". Really? You sure its not one of the dozen different things that will do that? No vision, no mental image, just words on a paper. A problem to be solved with no blueprint, and he's wrong 90% of the time because of it. I never considered not being able to do that. I would be screwed.

Posted by: Sam Adams at January 09, 2026 10:57 PM (X+xvk)

Allegedly, she had to break state voting system security laws, which she says was to *prevent* records from being destroyed. So she's in state prison, and Polesucker's crew is refusing to turn her over to the feebs. I certainly hope there's some fed investigatin' going on as they've been making noises about this for a while.

***
I'm not sure exactly what they do mean, and I'm not sure they do either. Certainly in first person the narrator's "voice" is the first thing you notice.

Yes, ideally the other characters should have distinctive ways of speaking, maybe favorite phrases or curses or other tags. It depends on how long your story is, I guess. Something like Steinbeck's East of Eden has lots of room to explore various voices, the characters' ways of looking at the world. A short story like Hemingway's "The Killers" doesn't have that room, and you have to suggest their differences in a short space.

Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM} at January 09, 2026 10:15 PM (xG4kz)

The mausoleum of Chavez is the Cuartel de la Montaña, which was originally built as the Military academy in the 1900's, then became a headquarters building, and in the 80's was converted into a museum.
Chavez used it as a headquarters during the 1990 coup, and it was later used both as headquarters for the "Bolivarian Militia" and as Chavez' tomb and museum.

The Bolivarian Militia was the "fifth branch" of the Venezuelan military, a sort of national guard or like Noriega's "Dignity Batallions"

If comms are really disrupted, Khameini could be dead, and the IRGC will carry on with their brutality anyway, out of a sense of self-preservation, if nothing else. If they surrender to the people, they are dead, and justifiably so.

292 One of the most amazing thing about reading vintage science fiction is how optimistic most of the dystopias were. Yeah, there’s been no progress and everything sucks, but you can take your honeymoon on the moon. Sure, there was a civilization-destroying apocalypse but we’ve got hovercars and holographic movies.

They assumed that even in the face of extreme entropy, progress would continue, which is contradictory to say the least.

To be fair, in Larry Niven's Known Space cycle, the later stages with hyperlight travel to various colony and alien planets take place several *hundred* years after the devastation of the Man-Kzin Wars, not twenty years later. There'd be time for civilization to recover. One generation or even two is pretty short for that.

But the State of Colorado did destroy those voting records, in clear violation of the law, didn't they? If that's correct, there is no legitimate reason the Feds aren't investigating it.

I was outside getting some fresh air at a large kegger, and he walked out the back door as I turned to see who it was.

I told him I had a bit of the spins, and that fresh air was the cure when he walked over to me. I'm not sure why he was out there, too.

I knew him but thought this the moment I saw him. Not in fear, but that life was fixin' to change. It did. Rather strange, eh?

360 I had a Taurus CIA. 6 shot .357 mag snub barrel, totally enclosed hammer. Stainless Steel. It sat in an Uncle Mike's suede inside the pocket holster. It was sweet. Had to get rid of it after a divorce. They quit making them later that year. If I ever see one or a Ruger Speed Six in a pawn shop, it'll be mine no questions asked.

362 IRGC Forces Turn on Supreme Leader as Reports of Mass Surrenders Erupt Amid Protester Revenge

Iran is facing its most serious internal crisis in decades as reports and videos circulating online claim elements of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have begun surrendering or refusing orders, amid nationwide protests targeting the Supreme Leader’s authority. Demonstrators, emboldened by signs of division within the security forces, have poured into the streets demanding accountability and retribution for years of repression, while clashes and defections reportedly spread across multiple cities. Although Tehran denies any breakdown in command, the growing volume of evidence and eyewitness accounts suggests a dangerous fracture at the heart of the regime, raising fears that Iran may be approaching a decisive and unpredictable turning point.

I am FAR from having this figured out, but it sure seems as though we love institutions more than individuals.

431 Another perk that "parents" get-- health insurance breaks from employers.

Where I worked, it was like this:

Employee only = $X
Employee +1 = $2X
Employee + 2 or more = $2.5X

Why not a (somewhat) reduced rate for EACH person?

Why do the singles or childless need to subsidize the heavily-populated families? Don't they get a big enough break from other sources?

432 There are some ewetubes (can't find them) that show a modified lawnmower taking on heavy weeds. The ewetube is a lot safer now, they could have pulled it.

Simply, a portion of the top front of the lawnmower was cut away allowing it to 'breathe'. Very effective.

I built one of those maybe 20 years ago. Still have it, and ran it last Summer to clear some heavy thistles. It does yeoman work. Will even gnaw through small saplings if I feed it slowly.

433 I bet that Trump has told Marco a ton of stories about what Cuba could become if it was free. They would need to upgrade a lot of infrastructure, but they could keep all of the vintage cars and cigar bars. I would prefer that they not turn it into a Vegas/Disney hybrid, but that island could generate a lot of revenue and every citizen thereof would be living a much better life.

Talking to Canadian friends, car guys, who have been there, the vintage cars are mostly junk. They have been bondo'ed up and painted over countless times, and the engines and running gear have been replaced with parts from old Ladas or Russian tractors. They basically keep them going for the tourist trade.

But there is no denying the skill of those shops that do keep them going as reasonable facsimiles of what they used to be. When the Commies finally fall, a savvy investor should buy a big shop in Havana, stock with quality tools and equipment, and hire those guys to do custom restorations on cars shipped in from North America, using quality parts and materials from the North american market.

If all else fails, play guitar. I think from the very early 80's up to the early 2000's I probably played 5 hours a day. Then after that who knows. Some days when I got home, or if I was home for the day the guitar was always in my hands. Even now, if I'm posting anything here at a rate of maybe a few times per hour, there's a guitar in my hands and I don't risk reaching over it to get to the keyboard.

Every man's semen had microplastics. 100%. It shocked the researchers.

54 President repeated his threat to "hit them hard where it hurts" today WRT Iranian gangster regime shooting protesters. Fog of war and all, but it certainly appears the regime has been shooting, a lot in the last 24 hours. Tehran-area doctors/others saying 200+ killed yesterday just in that region.

I have some ideas about "where it hurts" but am curious about what the target list is. We might be finding out soon.

87 Lots of moving parts to "the Kurds". Some - from the less savory end of the spectrum - apparently have been duking it out with regime elements in the west for a few days.

Meanwhile, the SDF - really our principal partners in Syria for a few years now, and who were supposed to be integrated in the new Syrian military - are fighting it out with some part of the Damascus forces in parts of Aleppo.

Major ethnic breakaway dynamic in Iran has long been the Baluchis in the south. Kurds have been at war with Tehran much less than their brethren fighting Baghdad or Ankara over the years.

99 It might be an "a fool and his money are soon parted" kind of scenario. But apparently celebs like Orlando Bloom and Simon Cowell do "aphresis," a medical process where blood is removed, filtered to extract certain components (like plasma), and then returned to the body. In these cases, the stated goal was often to remove microplastics and other environmental toxins.

But scientists have not determined if this even effectively CAN remove microplastics. Again, a fool and his money...

Though if Orlando Bloom was doing it to clean the last dregs of Katy Perry from his body, well I can't blame him.

They were happy for sure. It was one of those "sometimes it gets lucky, it gets special" nights, but the distinctive thing about that night is that somehow everything seemed easy, like they didn't even have to work to capture the specialness, the way they sometimes did, reaching and choosing more ambitiously to create something great. In this case, it was the easy looseness that made it special, and whatever that spark was, it was evident from the first moments of that Dancin/Franklin's opener.

Their problems are even worse than that, the same reason that their sugar crop (their historical cash generator this year was the worst since 1921.
All fuel (gas and diesel) is prioritized for government officials or the military. There is no gas or diesel available for agriculture, what little there is has gone back to horse or mule drawn plow. There also is no money for fertilizer or pesticides.
That part of their economy has already slipped back into 19th century tech levels, and the rest of it is headed there soon.
You might say that the Davos crowd will applaud this - but 19th century tech only supports 19th century population levels, at most 1/4 of what they are today.

The oldest Aggie joke in Texas is based on this, and the best part is that it’s actually true.

Q. Why did the UT system get the land with all the oil wealth, while the A&M system got none of it?
A. Because the Aggies had first choice.

333 Cute babies,human and puppies (Mama dog at the end had a fling with at least three daddies).

Our baby granddaughter is not dumb. 4mo old and for the last month or more stares at the fireplace as if she will turn it on with her mind (after bottle). I turn the gas wood logs on for her but she thinks her stare did. Then she burps. I figure I'll be doing this in the summer as she expects it to be lit.

She also,if super irritated that her bottle is not heated that second, only lets my husband walk her. We are sure she knows exactly what she's doing, and has done this since birth. Only he can walk her highness. And do not sing to her or rock her, she will take her nap on her own, thank you. Bossy!

The Week In Woke

olbermannkentstateofourtime.jpg

Two nights ago on CNN -- on the yearly celebration of January 6th -- Abby Philip and her leftwing guests agreed that Ashli Babbitt deserved to be killed because a cop gave her an order and she refused to comply.

The left continues agitating for the assassination of Trump. This teacher -- of course -- wants to know "Who's going to take one for the team and just do it? And you know what 'it' I mean we have to do."

This leftist says he's going to finally "do it" and is currently videotaping himself in Washington DC to show he's serious about "doing it."

TikToker says he's "going to war" and coming after Pete Hegseth.

Leftist calls for the murder of the ICE agent who defended his life against a crazed leftist.


Jasmine Ratchet: When Charlie Kirk died, we didn't justify his murder!

Great, teachers are coming up with new excuses for staying at home on their fat asses:

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

17h

🚨 JUST IN: Because of the protests and riots, Minneapolis Schools are CANCELING mandatory in-person classes, offering virtual learning until Feb. 12

It's like a 3rd world country. Too dangerous to leave your house because of leftists.

SEND THE GUARD!


On MSNBC, a left-wing rabble-rousing fake pastor lies his gay ass off:


FactPost
@factpostnews

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.' The next thing I knew, they were putting handcuffs on me, and they put me in the back of an SUV. I asked them if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

Mark Hemingway commented: "Of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most."

AWFL cries over the deportation of illegals, sad that the "people who clean the sheets in your hotel, do you landscaping" are having the law applied to them.

"Gia," a useless SJW "worker" at a Hilton Hotel in Dallas, doxes the hotel's customers by telling the world that ICE agents are staying there. Fire her, ban her from the industry.

Elderly AWFL Karen wants you to know she's sick of you MAGA types calling her a Karen. You know who the Karen is? YOU.

Woke asshole AWFL broke her retainer by grinding her teeth because she's watching Trump "attack science." She becomes distraught when she finds out her dentist might have voted for Trump.

Democrat party official and LGBTQ activist arrested for, you'll never guess, child porn.

Dumpy leftwing Junior AWFL says she's fleeing Nazis in the US by moving to Germany. Dis Bitch can't even cut carbs, I don't think she's going to emigrate.

Black radical: You can't do the "Say her name" chant for the white woman who was shot (while resisting arrest and attacking officers). The "say her name" chant is only for black women who are shot while resisting arrest and attacking officers. So stop it, White Racists!

46 >> Abby Philip and her leftwing guests agreed that Ashli Babbitt deserved to be killed because a cop gave her an order and she refused to comply.

I’ll give you something to ponder.

Got, our creator sent his only Son to this earth invariably to save us from death and give us eternal life.

That is, the Messiah. Essentially God in the flesh.

Many who read scripture knew that day would come. The prophets foretold it long before it happened.

And yet, when He finally came, performed miracles and fulfilled prophecy, the don’t just murder Him on the cross. The tortured him first.

The Son of Man.

You can say it was to fulfill prophecy and give us eternal life. And you would be right.

But it was fulfilled because God also knew the nature of man. That men, would do anything to protect their power. And the did.

Once you understand that men knowingly killed the Son of God, you’ll realize that men who want to protect their power will do anything to keep it. And like me, you won’t be surprised by anything they do. Ever.

There is no verification that Byrd gave an order.

If we can distrust authority when it suits us--then I can make a deal out of the lack of 100% proof that Byrd said anything and just shot her from his hidey-hole.

And he executed her.

[Disclaimer: But I don't believe that Babbitt was shot or killed there.]

68 ICE/CBP BORTAC Unit just brutally abducted 2 US Citizens/peaceful protesters at a memorial protest for Renee Good near Minneapolis
Link to Reddit thread with video of smellies getting roughed up: https://tinyurl.com/3svemrt4

Where are the national guards to protect the people? Remembered the governor threatened to mobilise them. It's time to actually do it.

the mayor and governor have both been all talk in response to this, zero action. Saying things like "this is unacceptable" and "gtfo" make for good sound bites on the evening news, but when nothing actually happens as a result, it comes off as politicians just being politicians: all talk, no action

Trump literally just said “we protect ICE we protect Law Enforcement”. I think it’s safe to say that sets the precedent that these thugs can kill who ever they want. As a Canadian I feel sorry for you.

He punched her in the neck, then twisted her collar to choke point while pinning to vehicle! Notice how they keep attacking the woman, more often then not? That’s a feature, not a bug.

I’ll give you something to ponder.

God, our creator sent his only Son to this earth invariably to save us from death and give us eternal life.

That is, the Messiah. Essentially God in the flesh.

Many who read scripture knew that day would come. The prophets foretold it long before it happened.

And yet, when He finally came, performed miracles and fulfilled prophecy, they didnt just murder Him on the cross. The tortured him first.

The Son of Man.

You can say it was to fulfill prophecy and give us eternal life. And you would be right.

But it was fulfilled because God also knew the nature of man. That men, would do anything to protect their power. And they did.

Once you understand that men knowingly killed the Son of God, you’ll realize that men who want to protect their power will do anything to keep it. And like me, you won’t be surprised by anything they do. Ever.

I've been studying the Gospel of Matthew, and I'd love your thoughts on my theory that Annas was one of the priests who was summoned by King Herod in Chapter 2:3-6. The chief priests and teachers were called, and since Annas was appointed High Priest in 6 A.D., he would have been one of them. He was there when Herod asked them about the Magi's question, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?" That, the priests who heard John the Baptist (and were perhaps even there at Jesus' baptism and the announcement of God that "This is my Son..." would indicate you are correct. Caiaphas, who presided over the trial of Jesus was Annas' SIL. They knew who he was and still rejected Him.

The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.' The next thing I knew, they were putting handcuffs on me, and they put me in the back of an SUV. I asked them if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

First Charlie Kirk -- and since "The Chosen" -- have encouraged me to revisit the Christian Scriptures (and I imagine I'm among millions worldwide, so not a bad Ministry by its creator Dallas Jenkins, eh? ... so the latter also has that going for it.

Finally, there's a Messianic Jew spiritual advisor whom I saw once in one of the "aftershow" videos -- Rabbi Jason Sobel; I was so impressed with him that I did some research, and he does a couple of Tours each year to The Holy Land -- so Wifey and I are going next October after I fully retire (and hope we don't miss the TX MoMe) ...

Other than that it's a dramatization. It can't be just "Jesus said" stuff. It has Jesus and the disciples going about life.

I don't really think Matthew was autistic.

Then again, historically, Matthew is the best argument against the idea that "it was all oral tradition" as Matthew was literate and numerate. And I saw a Bible scholar says that there are indications that Matthew took notes. Not surprising he's one of the major authors of Jesus' life.

Conan O'Brien: "Comedians" Who Do Nothing But Shout "F*** Trump" Are Not Comedians, Actual Comedians Need to be Funny

This guy's a liberal asshole -- remember him doing PSAs for the beauty and stability of Haiti, after Trump correctly diagnosed it as a shithole?

He's making an argument for Fighting Liberal Comedians like himself to actually try to be funny, because actual funniness is the "best weapon against power." (Um, it's not-- weapons are the best weapons -- but it's a weapon, I guess.)

So he's not making a conservative point here, just telling his fellow shitlibs how to be more effective in their anti-Trump agitation.

But if he's running down Steven Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel -- which he CLEARLY is -- I approve.

Gee, I wonder who he's talking about?

Here's a funny Special Commentary for the fat unfunny clown.

Some anti-woke comedy:

First guy up, Ben Bankas, says he can support late-term abortion... if a test tells him the baby is trans. Give it a chance. It gets dark.


He also doesn't understand why liberals say that America is the most racist country in the world, but everyone wants to come here. "Do they not know? Maybe we should tell them. So they don't come."

Another comic is sick of Woke Welcome mats.

I don't know if this is political per se, but it makes the point that woke white women in therapy to "improve themselves" are gigantic c*nts.


An old clip of Trump clowning around on some TV show.

Oh, by the way, in case you see this video of George Carlin ranting about "ideology becoming your identity" in your feed, it's an AI fake. I got suspicious because 1, Carlin was a cranky far-left liberal and he usually tried to spare the left from criticism, and 2, the guy died like 25 years ago but this rant sounds like it's about the current moment, right now. It's just not possible to see the future that clearly, and I can tell you that because I've gone into the future with the time machine I don't have and all of our predictions are far from the mark.

35 Willowed, the idea about Pluto's planet status:

I like the idea Larry Niven suggested in his novelette The Borderland of Sol," that Pluto is a loose moon of Neptune, and there are *four* more planets out there. Persephone, Caina, Antinora, and Ptolemea. "Judecca" would be next, one character says: "Hell. The four innermost divisions of Dante's Hell. They form a great ice plain with sinners frozen into it."

I have seen that argument made in self defense shootings. That is why such people should not have a vote as they are driven by emotions, not facts or logic.

Includes males too. Some dumbasses in OK were directed by some stupid thug beyotch to do a home invasion. One was armed with a knife, another a firearm, and the third was going along with the plan. A righteous dude using an AR-15 put all three of them in the grave when they broke in waving their gun and knife around. Beyootch skeddadled as she was driving the getaway car.

Grandpa of one of the boys was bitching about how the righteous dude was not going to be charged at all because OK and home invasion.

He started mouthing stupid shit in interviews like the perp was just a boy, getting his life back together, dindu nuffin and should not have been shot for participating in an armed home invasion.

My guess is grandpa was a criminal as well but he could just be terminally stupid.

Um, yeah. Not quite the insight I was hoping for. See, we've known that (and all other instances where excessive profanity is the norm) for decades. Decades.

I’m not sure about that. He hated on everyone. He specially hated on politicians in general.

I actually remembered him saying there weren’t two parties, just one giant party out to fuck you. He was right about that.

I spend time on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood every week. Given the right opportunity, I'm looking to tell a woman to go on in and have her abortion, because we aren't interested in saving any future Democrat voters.

Let her think about that for a while. Not sure it will work, but as reverse psychology it just might penetrate past the "liberal power" shell to realize the stupidity of what they are doing.

Which is abuse and I am hoping grandpa is going to rescue the child asap.

I am also hoping the US government will freeze all but about 40k for her funeral from the goFundme to agitate ICE, now at $1.5million.

154 Reports from Christian ministries indicate that around 50,000 of Iran’s roughly 75,000 mosques have closed or fallen into disuse in recent years, largely due to low attendance. Many Iranians, disillusioned by economic hardship, government oppression, and the harsh enforcement of Islamic law—especially after the brutal crackdown on women protesting hijab laws—are turning away from the state-sponsored version of Islam.

Within the turmoil, a growing number of Iranians (estimates range from several hundred thousand to around three million) are coming to faith in Jesus Christ. The frequent testimony of Iranians encountering Jesus personally through dreams and visions, experiences many describe as undeniably supernatural encounters, are a remarkabky common occurrence with these conversions.

You may not agree. But I've seen plenty of cases where he proved his point--to me."

I've noticed a lot of people think obnoxious = funny (not saying this applies to you), and that is what I always associate with Ferrell.

I've very much enjoyed some of his movies, but that said, I can't stand when he is doing the circuit promoting one, because he is always, always in character.

Maybe that's his way of keeping his personal life separate from his professional, or maybe he's like the guy in Vonnegut's "Who Am I This Time?", but it does nothing to endear him to me.

I know more than I want to from what I can find. Unless she knew Bull Dyke with #1 husband (those are the kids he has). He's alive and has stories.

#2 husband died in 2023 in Colorado, and is the father of the kid she and current Bull Dyke have.

Maybe she's had multiple lesbos with each husband?

I have seen the cig burn stuff before. Unsure if related to first 2 kids with #1 husband or not.

I initially read it as this kid now, and guessed why they moved 3 times in 2yrs including out of the country (to avoid CPS checks).

I thought that odd due to Trump (re: lesbos).

Today I think the move was the trans deal.Because days after the election reddit was on fire over trans and parents yanking them out of schools.

I would bet a dollar that they are raising this kid(boy?) trans. Which is abuse (Munchausen's by Proxy). Because of the charter school hint and, well, they are lesbian activists who like to shock. Poor kid.

239 >>> The culture of women who go to therapy a lot are such a rich ground for comedy mining. One thing that always made me laugh is when a woman blames her failures on being "empathic." She is constantly emotionally exhausted because she feels everyone's feelings. She just cares so much! Whenever you hear a woman claim to be an empath, there's a 99% chance she's a giant cunt.
Posted by: bonhomme at January 09, 2026 05:56 PM (Yp6az)

Being empathetic is a real thing. The problem is when you have no boundaries and are a doormat for everyone in your life, and let the crazies in your life suck you dry like an emotional vampire. Now I'm peri-menopausal and my IDGAF meter is running higher and higher, things are getting better on that front.

There's a great woman who runs a "We Do Not Care Club," for pre menopausal to post menopausal woman, where she lists the things the club just doesn't care abut anymore. We don't have the time or energy, we're over it. She pulls out a highlighter to mark off the items of the day, and rips the highlighter off with her teeth and spits it away before she runs down her list. I love her.

She has so many followers that she got a book deal! Well deserved.

To me, Ron White was funny the FIRST time I watched one of his live performances. With each successive performance, I liked him less, because I slowly began to realize that he *is/was* the lecherous jerk he toured across the country telling us about. I realized I'd hate to have him as a neighbor, or co-worker, or even lunch-companion.

You're not wrong...and yet I still love his movies. The "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills" line from Zoolander is one of my faves. I can put on Blades of Glory, or Zoolander, or Eurovision, or Elf, and have a good time. He found his schtick, the overexuberant, uninhibited manchild, and ran with it and made himself a ton of money. Good for him.

But I did REALLY love Stranger than Fiction, where he plays the tightly buttoned up accountant who finds out his life is being written by a woman who has to kill him off in her story. He was remarkably self restrained in that one.

Axios: Trump Alerted the Secret Service about Marjorie Taylor Greene, Believing She Tipped Off Code Pink About His Location So That They Could Ambush Him

This sounds like something a deranged, bitter narcissist and retard would do.

The relationship between President Trump and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene grew so poisonous that the White House told the Secret Service that Greene may have tipped off Code Pink protesters about his surprise visit last fall to a D.C. restaurant she recommended, two sources on Trump's team tell Axios.

That episode -- which involved a chaotic confrontation between anti-war activists and Trump -- embarrassed the president and intensified concerns in the White House about his safety, a year after he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt.


Why it matters: Trump aides view the Joe's Seafood debacle as a point of no return in his relationship with Greene, a Trump ally-turned-critic who left office this week.

Greene told Axios that any suggestion she revealed Trump's dinner plans was "an absolute lie, a dangerous lie. I would never do that."

She said she recommended the restaurant to Trump but didn't know when he would go there.

Greene added that only the fancy lobbyist hangout -- a few blocks from the White House, at 15th and H NW -- and Trump aides knew of the reservation. She said: "The story you should be writing is why didn't the Secret Service sweep the restaurant," and have metal detectors at the door?

Yeah, that's not a defense. That's bringing up irrelevant bullshit to cloud the issues.


It's unclear whether Greene is being investigated by the Secret Service, which did not respond to a request for comment. Greene didn't respond when asked whether the Secret Service had contacted her.

Zoom in: Trump's Sept. 9 outing to Joe's with Vice President Vance and several Cabinet members was part of an effort to show the president's deployment of National Guard troops had made D.C. streets safer.

Protesters with the liberal group Code Pink got within feet of Trump's table and chanted: "Free DC.! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!"

For weeks afterward, Trump aides say they tried to discern how the group knew about his unannounced dinner plans, which were known only to a few people. The media wasn't given a heads-up about Trump's plans.

...

White House officials didn't provide direct evidence that Greene alerted the protesters, but said their suspicions rest on two factors:

1. Her suggesting where Trump should dine

Officials say that after recommending the president go to Joe's, Greene repeatedly called White House staffers the day of the dinner to confirm he was going.

I mean... that's game over, right? She claims that she didn't know when he was going but she kept calling him on the day of the dinner to verify he was going there.

After Trump heard about Greene's calls, he called her shortly before leaving the White House and confirmed his planned visit, the sources said.

Greene -- who was a regular at the restaurant -- didn't show up there when Trump and other officials were there, which struck some Trump aides as odd.

Indeed. Why didn't this attention whore and would-be teachers pet show up?

2. Greene's relationship with Code Pink

White House aides note Greene is friends with Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin.

Greene and the organization are aligned in their opposition to the U.S. providing military aid to Ukraine and Israel.

Benjamin last year praised Greene for opposing Trump's bombing of nuclear sites in Iran and for calling to strip foreign aid from the Pentagon's budget.

...

"I have enjoyed a friendship with Medea for a few years now, even though politics says that's not allowed," Greene said later.


...

The other side: Greene felt slighted from the early days of Trump's second administration, according to a source familiar with her thinking.

She believed Trump lieutenants didn't take her suggestions seriously and ignored her outreach even though she'd shown her loyalty to Trump for years, the source said.

That's because you're a fucking retard and your ideas are retard-shit.

The 40 IQ troll says it's not true:

@RepMTG

This is exactly what I told this little WH tool that wrote this absurd dangerous LIE about me on behalf of the WH because they are mad at me for telling the truth about the President and forcing the release of the Epstein files. Now they are making up horrific lies about me!!

Her denial makes me think it's true, because she just starts spamming out irrelevant claims, like that it was all the Secret Service's fault because, she claims, they didn't sweep the restaurant. Okay, maybe they did or maybe they didn't -- that's irrelevant to the question of whether you tipped off Code Pink, and spamming out irrelevant nonsense makes me think: "The guilty mind betrays itself."

I don't feel like quoting or addressing the rest of her screed. It's her usual shrieky-freaky scatterbrained ding-a-ling nonsense.

54 I think part of the reason a lot of the early Trump supporters are flaking out is that they are no longer important.

By that I mean that in 2016, Trump backers were thin on the ground, and he had to take what he could get. This meant schlubs, retreads and dimbulbs.

But now, he's leveled up, and can command first-class political talent. He doesn't need these losers cramping his style. He's like the nerd kid who had to put up with fat chicks because he was 4'9" in boots but now he hit a growth spurt, is closing on 6' and the cheerleaders are flirting with him.

First they ended up in the friendzone, now they're getting dissed.

55 There's no possible way a high ranking political supporter of Trump's could also be friends with Medea Benjamin. She isn't just a leftist freak AWFL, she is a hardcore Marxist.

Her partner at Code Pink is Jodie Evans. Evans is married to Neville Singham. Singham is a tool wealthy tool of the CCP and widely suspected of giving millions to BLM and antifa as well as other communist groups.

62 Actually, this fills in some of the blanks. In September 2025, Greene did a press conference in Georgia which started out with her making an off the cuff comment of "if they say it was suicide, it wasn't suicide" and then went into whatever the press conference was about without any clarification on that seemingly strange comment.

The article above says that the restaurant scenario occurred in the fall. So, that is likely what she was commented about, and it, also, suggests she did indeed set Trump up.

232 Ron Wyden still alive ?
Posted by: SMOD

Lives mostly in NYC now I think while representing Oregon. Big grifter I think now. AI summary fwiw.

"Ron Wyden has been described by critics as a "grifter" due to allegations of conflicts of interest and ethical concerns surrounding his political career.

One article claims he took $1,207,873 from the pharmaceutical industry, raising questions about his motivations when voting against RFK Jr.'s nomination, suggesting he represents Big Pharma rather than the people of Oregon.

The piece further accuses him of changing positions based on financial incentives and calls him a "career politician" who amassed a net worth between $6 million and $10 million, which the author implies may stem from insider trading.

Additional scrutiny comes from financial disclosures showing that his wife owns up to $3 million in stocks in major tech companies, while Wyden advocates for policies favorable to Big Tech, leading to accusations of a conflict of interest."

233 Here it is:

Conspiracy theory no more.

Not only did
@DOGE
confirm it—the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has re-confirmed it:
The Democrats have extorted the generosity of the American people.
Illegal aliens were issued Social Security numbers with maximum Social Security benefit payouts by the Biden–Harris terrorist administration:

• 270,425 in 2021
• 590,193 in 2022
• 964,163 in 2023
• 2,095,247 in 2024—on their way out the door
With a whopping 1.4 million illegals on Medicaid.

DOGE:
Antonio Gracias: “We found that there were about 5 million of them who came into the country illegally and got through an automatic system with Social Security numbers. We tracked that and found that they were on maximum benefit programs. We then looked to see if they were on the voter rolls, and in a handful of cooperative states, we found thousands of them. Many of them had voted.”
And here is another conspiracy theory that is no more: over $9 billion of American taxpayer money was also extorted in Minnesota by the Democrats.
In other words: your generosity has been robbed. Deceived. Blackmailed. Extorted.

245 Turns out he was an illegal alien somali who was convicted for first degree criminal sexual assault for forcing someone to perform oral sex on him multiple times. When the cops went to arrest him, he fled into an apartment building and the manager wouldn't let them in. So they had to go back in a targeted operation. THAT'S why they were there.

Well, they were his kids too, and there was at some point in Greek philosophy (or playwriting) an idea that the mother was only the field the kids were grown in, and the father was the the actual one they were connected to.

I want to say that was the argument against the Furies tormenting whats-his-name for killing his mother Clytemnestra after she and her lover killed his father Agamemnon when he got back from the Trojan war.

Yes; according to Edith Hamilton's recounting, Medea murdered her brother to slow her father's pursuit of the Argo. Then she murdered King Pelias, who had sent Jason after the Fleece, by fooling his daughters into trying to make him young again by cutting him into pieces for a magic spell Medea would perform. Ha, ha, didn't work.

Then she murdered Jason's bride-to be by poisoning a gown she sent to the girl as a wedding gift. When the girl put it on, she was enveloped by fire.

Medea was quite a bit crazier than Helen. Helen might have been super-manipulative, but Medea was *nuts*.

I'm willing to accept that the driver panicked and did not intend to strike the officer. The officer also panicked because he could not read her mind especially after/during being struck anyway. The driver is dead now and cannot be prosecuted.

327 re Benjamin's name, per wiki:

She was born Susan Benjamin, but changed her name to Medea after her first year at Tufts (joined the SDS, later dropped out), because "liked how the name sounded, and she had heard a feminist interpretation of the Greek tragedy suggesting that Medea had never killed her children and was only blamed for it by patriarchal traditions".

She chose to celebrate the name herself, because she is stupid, as well as evil.

Neighbors? Isn't that a bit generous? They weren't from there and knew no one (as I understand it). I'm sorry but if I live in one city and you live in another city, county, state, or country, you're not really my neighbor. Words matter.

And as an aside, the pro-insurrectionist collectives don't even refer to the police, military, or various authorities tasked with enforcing law as neighbors/citizens either. They might as well be invaders from another planet as far as they're concerned. They're the Other and to be defined as such so as to make them less than human and viable targets of violence.

373 Antonio Gracias: “We found that there were about 5 million of them who came into the country illegally and got through an automatic system with Social Security numbers. We tracked that and found that they were on maximum benefit programs. We then looked to see if they were on the voter rolls, and in a handful of cooperative states, we found thousands of them. Many of them had voted.”
And here is another conspiracy theory that is no more: over $9 billion of American taxpayer money was also extorted in Minnesota by the Democrats.
In other words: your generosity has been robbed. Deceived. Blackmailed. Extorted.

If by maximum benefits he means they were automatically put at the top income bracket to receive the maximum payout at retirement, people need to be arrested and executed.


Most Americans get less than half the maximum payout after working 35 to 40 years.

Even CNN Admits That the Lunatic Lesbian Leftist Tried to Run Down the ICE Agent

When you've lost CNN... you've lost practically no one else, because no one watches CNN.

Another video shows the leftwing terrorist hitting the ICE agent with the car, from his body-camera's POV:

The left has been claiming that it was okay to run the ICE agent down because she didn't know he was an ICE agent. They make this claim when agents wear masks and stuff. They claim that that gives them the right to treat them as muggers and use deadly force in "self defense."

Of course, this woman was trained by "ICE Watch" and specifically went to the place to harass ICE.

She is not, as Adam Schiff is claiming, just a good Christian woman who was driving her car peacefully that day.

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE "warrior" and was part of a group of activists who worked to "document and resist" the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son's woke charter school, which boasts that it puts "social justice first" and prioritizes "involving kids in political and social activism," multiple local sources said.

"She was a warrior. She died doing what was right," a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

"I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right."

Good and her wife, Rebecca, 40, were raising the boy together in the mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood of south Minneapolis, which features tree-lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.

Just as many others did in the lefty enclave, Good sent her son to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 that from its inception has been "unabashedly dedicated to social justice education," according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in "ICE Watch" -- a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.

"From my understanding, she was involved in social justice ... we are a tight-knit community and a lot of parents are [activists]," former Southside gym teacher Rashad Rich, who resigned from the school last month, told The Post.

He said current event topics like the killing of George Floyd were regular parts of the curriculum, and that last month students took a field trip where they learned about "aboriginal issues" -- a reference to the indigenous people of far-away Australia.

Coalitions similar to ICE Watch have cropped up all over the country -- with activists using phone apps, whistles and car horns to warn neighborhoods when ICE shows up.

ICE Watch and adjacent groups can also turn confrontational -- with numerous instances of activists ramming agents with their cars in the past.

"[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents -- what to do, what not to do, it's a very thorough training," Leesa said.

"To listen to commands, to know your rights, to whistle when you see an ICE agent," she added.

Leftwing women are now majority psychopathic and enraptured by the idea of killing people.

There's something very wrong with left-wing women. All I can say is, if you're big enough to lay hands on someone else, you're big enough to take a punch in the face. We're going to be seeing some Equal Rights and Equal Lefts.

Look at this leftwing woman, for example: "To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis."

Arrest him.

Minnesota has spent years building an infrastructure of ICE watch patrols, NGO backed rapid response teams, and politically wired nonprofits that can flip from ordinary life to street mobilization in minutes.
The key to Minnesota's rapid mobilization is not Twitter activism. It is an on the ground surveillance and response network that local reporters have already documented in detail. A Star Tribune investigation into the "organized resistance to ICE" in Minnesota reads like a field manual for modern grassroots intelligence operations.​....

61 To reiterate from last comment thread;

Lot of stupid younger lefties are trying to claim the lady didn't step on the gas, and that the wheels spinning is "just what happens when you put it in drive"

This is because it's common practice for retarded millenials and zoomers - and especially women, sorry ladies - to shift into drive or park while rolling backwards, sometimes with their foot still on the gas pedal.

I don't think that's what happened here, though; the vehicle was fully stopped for much longer than it'd normally take to go from driving backwards under power to going into drive. I take great exception to cops putting themselves in front of vehicles for dumb reasons and then shooting drivers, but this was already a legit arrest, so good shoot.

Yep. Though I would advise you to keep an eye on the trigger guard and Safety as they can freeze into the open position if there is enough moisture available.

One of the worst gunfails I ever witnessed while guiding was cause by an iced up trigger in a duck blind on a -36 degree morning.

81 Kaos Karen made a series of very poor decisions that day. She chose to go to a preplanned protest with intent to agitate, instigate and resist. She did all that, and more, instead of picking up her kid at daycare.

When she got into her SUV with the intent to cause mayhem, she could have reevaluated her position. She did not.

When initially confronted by ICE and told to stop her car, roll down the window, she did not.

When ordered to stop and get out, just prior to attempting to run over an ICE agent, she did not.

She chose poorly. All goddamn day. With intent.

Vance announced a new Assistant AG position dedicated only to fraud, first to be focused on Minnesota and then, presumably as the office grows in staff, to focus on nationwide.

It can't be done. It's permanent.

After Mao died, the CCP was able to wind down the Cultural Revolution and send the Red Guards home, except for the dedicated and most radical young women. They couldn't be stopped, and had to be slaughtered because there was nowhere safe to lock them up.

We have more places to lock them up, but that's what it's going to take. Make the behavior entire unacceptable and quarantine those who can't pretend to live normally. We're going to need a Coventry to deal with it. This crap is endemic among Millennial women and not at all uncommon among X. At least half of them will, if it becomes too unacceptable, shut up and pretend and crawl into their wine boxes and Xanex and pretend it was all never true but a whole hell of a lot of them will not.

But we might need a literal penal colony to deal with it. Maybe a corner carved out of one of the Dakotas.

A generic citizen would not be empowered to stand in front of her vehicle and detain her, but if she pulled that shit while any of us were walking in front while doing her traffic schizo act and she gunned it, we'd be similarly justified in shooting her in the face.

Make them pony up for bail and defense lawyers. Once the mortgage and Honda payments start getting chancy, this phenomenon will come to a stop.

Yeah, I know there are foundations, but so what? Start draining their asses too. Even if the women can get financial support, going to federal lockup is pretty stressful.

This NYT video is the best one to share with people. Unironically saving it to show my family when this inevitably comes up lol

people focus on if the shooting is justified but it's fucking insane these dirtbags can run up to any random car for any reason and forcibly attempt to abduct someone threatening murder otherwise

The admin released the shooter's footage because they think THIS HELPS THEM!? Good fucking God. Go read the comments on conservative. These people are psychopaths, they really believe it does help the case.

CNN has dude with mustache playing video angles down like this doesnt seal the fucking case.

No.

It doesn't matter if she wants to "leave", if you're gonna "leave" - whether or not you are being detained or are under verbal commands for arrest - you cannot "leave" through someone else with a vehicle, and someone in a position to get run over pretty much has a blank check to shoot you in the face.

It is entirely possible to have a driver who is just fucking stupid and doesn't intend to hurt anyone, and still have them be a good shoot.

I don't think she intended to run him down, I think she intended to leave but had a bad case of woman driver. If she'd cut the wheels over first it would be a really dodgy shoot.

She did not, so fuck her.

No, the video that the other lesbian was recording shows the ICE officer drawing his sidearm and putting one round into the windshield before he's hit. That shot penetrated the windshield and hit Renee Good.

There's a photo floating around that show hits in the driver's side mirror housing (shot 2) and the door panel under the window (shot 3).

That dude cleared his holster and got off a good aimed shot in less than a second. That's damned good since he was recording video, and everything went to $hit in a heartbeat.

My guess is that she got hit in the neck or lower chin area. Which is rather ironic, considering all the Commies giggling about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

172 Not sure if anyone said this clearly.

It is possible that the cop did not shoot to protect himself, but to prevent the officer at the window from being dragged like he had been in past.

This is important as it gives him another line of defense completely separate from him being in front of a car, or him wasting time shooting instead of moving. Even if you remove him from the proximity to the car, and even if he was not hit, he was justified to prevent harm to the officer at the window.

Feds have the felony murder statute to use if they choose. Outside Lesbo was part and parcel of the illegal obstruction of ICE doing their law enforcement duties. The fact that the Lesbo driver got killed means that the outside filming Lesbo was involved in her lesbo driver's death as part of an intentional crime to obstruct federal officers.

Irrelevant. She had a duty to stop and get out of the car when she was ordered to by a law enforcement agent. She had a duty to take due care not to hit the law enforcement agent with her car. She drove her car toward the officer, wheels turned or not, and hit him.

All of this matters, but not as much as the officer's POV at the time he drew, pointed, and pressed the trigger. That officer has a right to self defense. He reasonably understood himself to be in lethal danger by the driver of the car at the time he pulled the trigger.

But also because I say bay-bee like a drunk Australian. I have issues with that vowel in my redneck Southern accent. He used to ask me to say baby to snicker.

I just want that poor 6yr old (I think a boy) given to his paternal grandfather. I am sure grandpa has stories to tell of this late sneering wacko. Who lost custody of her other two kids to her first husband due to her abuse (who has even more stories to tell).

IF this kid did have cig burns from either lesbo "parent" he needs to be with someone else. Certainly not the lesbo "wife/widow" regardless of who burned him.

227 180 > She looked exactly like in the other videos: someone trying to leave.

Irrelevant. She had a duty to stop and get out of the car when she was ordered to by a law enforcement agent. She had a duty to take due care not to hit the law enforcement agent with her car. She drove her car toward the officer, wheels turned or not, and hit him.

All of this matters, but not as much as the officer's POV at the time he drew, pointed, and pressed the trigger. That officer has a right to self defense. He reasonably understood himself to be in lethal danger by the driver of the car at the time he pulled the trigger.

Rubio, just yesterday, put a big hole in the whole international ngo racket by the US withdrawing from 66 intl organizations. That means the family members and donors for Rinos no longer get sinecures and the fed government employees assigned to those duties supporting those worthless grift mills either get canned or moved somewhere useful. It also puts a stake in the heart of the climate treaty so that means carbon taxes and cap and trade that Rinos have pushed is mostly dead.

Trump announcing that big defense contractors can no longer do stock buybacks nor pay its execs massive salaries is also going to leave a mark.

Trump is truly comfortable living in chaos world and relying on his and his team's ability to think logically and faster than the left and international community can process.

So, yeah, after already being drug 100 yards by a car, I'd say the Agent had a pretty good understanding that cars moving AT YOU are ... oh.... dangerous?

318 Willowed. 417. Reportedly, her second husband, Timmy Ray Macklin Jr., who died in 2023, was a U.S. Air Force veteran.

Good had moved with her parents in Kansas City for a brief period after his death and before moving to be with her latest partner in MN.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day

Slightly different from above, "Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son's woke charter school, which boasts that it puts "social justice first" and prioritizes "involving kids in political and social activism," multiple local sources said."

However, there is info. that Good was born & spent the majority of her life in Colorado, where her two older children live with her first (ex) husband.

After her 2nd husband died in 2023, she and the youngest of her 3 kids lived with her parents in Kansas for a time. Then she moved with her current partner and 3rd child to Kansas City, Missouri for about two years.

At the time of her death, Good, her partner and her 3rd child had only lived in Minneapolis for months.

He was struck by the vehicle. A few inches more to the left could have seriously injured or killed him. He's not expected to make those precise calculations before deciding to use force.

Now amplify that feeling by tenfold because your immediately in front of the recklessly moving vehicle as it lunches towards you.

While there has long been a socially active upper middle class older female cohort they were traditionally occupied by their kids and grandkids - the involvement in past movements like prohibition was somewhat limited by this.

To counteract it then you do need to fix the birth dirth AND give them something to do that isn't fundamentally destructive. This is an area where the right really hasn't made much of an attempt - Glenn Reynolds idea to have a right leaning rich guy buy some women's magazines would be a start...

Posted by: Axeman


That's obviously not what I am saying. I'm saying exactly that his perception of danger was almost certainly heavily conditioned by his recent experience, and that that likely affected his judgement in this case.

There's a reason cops get psych evals and take time out after lethal interactions. Prior incident wasn't a lethal interaction but it could have been as psychologically significant if he feared for his life in that case.

None of this is blaming the cop. And if "totality of the circumstances" is extended to include the prior incident, then it could be a justified shooting. But I suspect it's only a mitigating factor.

There are reports that this is the SAME ICE Agent who was drug almost 100 yards by a car a few months ago... was an ICE stop on a known illegal, had been reaching through a back window to open a door, when the Illegal drove off, with his arm stuck... Illegal was convicted of various crimes.

So, yeah, after already being drug 100 yards by a car, I'd say the Agent had a pretty good understanding that cars moving AT YOU are ... oh.... dangerous?

General Motors writes down $6 billion as domestic EV sales plans change

American automakers who got overenthusiastic about electric vehicles continue to pay the price—literally. Yesterday, General Motors told investors that building and selling fewer EVs will cost the company $6 billion. Still, things could be worse—last month, rival Ford said it would write down $19.5 billion as a result of its failed EV bet.

GM is not actually abandoning its EV portfolio, even as it reduces shifts at some plants and repurposes others—like the one in Orion, Michigan—into assembling combustion-powered pickups and SUVs instead of EVs.

384 338 329 Karen Deathwheels had many opportunities to rethink what she was going to do that day. At everyone of those points in time she chose instigation, agitation and confrontation. It's the very definition of "intent."

Posted by: It's me donna

There is a civil and criminal doctrine of who initiated and kept on escalating the confrontation is the guilty party. There is no duty whatsoever for law enforcement to retreat IN COMPLETE SAFETY from a confrontation when it involves enforcing federal law, lethal force can even be used when lethal force is being used (cars are lethal force by federal statute actually) against an officer.

Karen Deathwheels (so stealing that) and her partner initiated and escalated the confrontation all the way to her death. Officer involved was doing a 360 inspection of the vehicle and Karen Videotaper was purposefully trying to distract him from his duty while doing so, that meant that the officer was in front of the vehicle (possibly to check for different front and back reg plates mebbe) when Karen Deathwheels started her short felony criminal career.

Read Graham v. Connor regarding police use of force. Broadly speaking it's facts and circumstances based on objective reasonableness.

"Brebeuf was killed at St. Ignace in Huronia on 16 March 1649.He had been taken captive with Gabriel Lalemant when the Iroquois destroyed the Huron mission village at Saint-Louis. The Iroquois took the priests to the occupied village of Taenhatenteron (also known as St. Ignace), where they subjected the missionaries and native converts to ritual torture before killing them. The Iroquois then cannibalized his body."

That A incited B to do something criminal against C does not excuse B from listening to the deranged asshole. Karen Deathwheels had a choice and she chose poorly by continuing to escalate and rack up crimes to the level of felonius assaults on ICE agents using a lethal weapon (the car).

There is no pussy pass to not obey law enforcement and she though her privilege overrode the law. ICE doesn't play pokemon points.

The hilarious video yesterday of an ICE agent who the POC was trying to pull his weapon from him, then the agent fired a pepperball right in the face of a POC male and seeing him cry afterwards was most satisfactory. FAFO and if it had been a firearm instead of a paintball gun, Mr. POC activist would have been on a slab with Karen Deathwheels.

"And that doesn't mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts.

"We don't want that to happen. There have been cases like this where President Obama totally backed down, but this is something pretty incredible that's happening in Iran. It's an amazing thing to watch."

435 "Democrats call for rioters to �put your body on the line.� Rioters do that. One eventually gets shot while accelerating an SUV into an ICE agent. Democrats and leftists blame the Trump administration and urge for more direct action against ICE."

It's a dirty rotten evil political purposes op by ultra-Blue mayors and governors.

A. Order the local and state police agencies in your jurisdictions to not support ICE ops by refusing to provide requested trined crownd control personnel and their crowd control equipment (vehicle barricades, tire shredder strips next to and behind vehicle barricades, snipers, etc.). Forcing ICE agents untrained and unequipped for crowd control to do crowd control and split their forces between anti-crowd duty and the assigned immigration enforcement work. Making them thin on the ground.

B. Coordinate with professional agitators to set-up and man large protests, egging-on the useful idiots to confront and interfere with ICE ops as much as possible. Putting cannon fodder out for ICE to arrest and hopefully injure, and shoot.

C. Decry protestor injuries and/or deaths with incendiary language, blaming ICE for not safely dealing with protestors (see A.)

Can we please stop fighting to prove he was hit? It does not matter if she hit him. He clearly perceived she going to ram him, and that's enough for any self-defense claim. (The same as arguing about "un-armed"; no weapons are necessary to create the perception of the imminence of grave bodily harm.)

You obviously didn't read it. It's about what's reasonable v excessive force and the standard for determining reasonableness. You asked how the law worked, not how a cop may think - that's moving the goalpost. There is no presumption of lethality for every scene, as you asserted. Such a presumption would permit immediate use of force, up to and including lethal force, on arrival regardless of the actual situation. This would have no place in a republican government or free society.

While child custody cases are slowly becoming more even between men and women, it is VERY rare for a mother to get no custody baring some extreme activity on her part.

If she wanted custody and didn't at least get shared there is something to this child abuse claims

The lesbos, though, whoo boy, homely. Add a knit hat or purple hair and they have arrived! Never turned a male's head. Never had a wolf whistle or probably a date (another subject as men are now afraid to ask normal looking women to date from what I read).

They become lesbo. Still not happy due to mental illness. So become "activists" of the flavor of the month. Hang out with similar to activate their anger and hatred further.Perhaps activist lesbo orgies. Then this happens.

Also, someday we will see the lesbian widow's film of the ICE Agents and their lesbo activist theater. Someday. Her phone was taken into evidence, no doubt. We will hear their jeers and profanity clearer and what was discussed in their little movie.

Thankful we saw the ICE film today.

I don't think this bull dyke was in the picture yet. She lost custody to 1st husband for her abuse of some type.

Second husband died in 2023, some say suicide (which would be understandable at this point). Third kid was 4 at the time? At some point she meets current bull dyke and moves to Missouri from CO.

It was said the first day, in a comment, so a rumor, that there had been abuse of #3 kid with cig burns from one of the "mothers."

Which is why I think they moved 3 times since 2023 & his father's death, to avoid CPS. Perhaps to look for comfy activism. Who knows? Well, they did move to Canada in 2024 due to TDS and his election.

Maybe they were raising the poor kid to be trans and that sent them fleeing? It certainly rattled cages of local reddits who have trans kids (for my anthropology study). Have not read this & it is not a rumor, just throwing it out there as to the Canada move.

503 > Having been a Traffic Crash Reconstructionist in my prior career: yes, people can get badly injured in a low-speed crash.

My dad investigated a death where a woman was parking her car. She leaned over to grab something and bumped the curb. That was the last thing she did. Her temple bumped into the knob of her manual window crank. She was only going like 3mph.

I investigated a one-car crash in which the driver had hit a guard rail at not too high a speed. He was found laying on the ground dead, next to open driver's door. He was not ejected. There was some hair on the roof of his car.

My theory was that he had the crash, got out of the car, grabbed his head thinking "My head hurts", got dizzy, reached out to try to maintain his balance and transferred hair from his hand onto the roof of his car. Then he collapsed, dead.

512 For decades Hollywood has shown the “strong, tough woman” hero kicking ass on guys, in movies, television, video games…
They have set up this belief in many gals that they too, can kick a man’s ass. They never do, and the very very few who have physically initiated contact with men, have gotten destroyed. So the vast majority have never felt the consequences.
Listen to that bitch with the camera…”Bring your lunch.”
Ha.
You would think after the Olympic boxing issue, where half-men were injuring women (and stealing the gold medals) that women would start to see reality…
To see men stealing all the awards in women’s college and high school sports, injuring girls along the way…
But this has led to a mentality of “women can act tough, no consequences” including with law enforcement.
Real world has consequences.
This is the FAFO stage.
There is no longer an alternative. We can only hope that Law Enforcement officers are not killed or injured during this process, and that the government puts an end to these groups funding, training, and mobilizing the radical left-wing street thugs, and starts arresting and prosecuting the thugs as well.

Iran's Supreme Ayatollah: Protesters Are Just Working On Behalf of Donald Trump

Indeed.

lightingcigaretteoffphotoofthemullah.jpg


Caroline Di Russo
@CaroDiRusso

17h

This photo of a young Iranian woman lighting her cigarette with a burning picture of the Ayatollah is next level flex.

It encapsulates the situation perfectly. Powerful and unforgettable.

God bless the citizens of Iran rising up against this oppressive Islamist leftist regime.

This is now a viral trend.

Tousi TV
@TousiTVOfficial

1h

Nearly 24 hours after the internet was completely shut down, images are still emerging from across Iran.

Mosques, Islamic centers, and government buildings were destroyed overnight, including sites in Tehran and cities across the country. Despite claims minimizing the scale, the footage tells a very different story.

This is the aftermath.

Iranians toppled the statue of Quds force commander Suleimani -- the "austere religious scholar" drone-struck by Trump -- and cheered as they did so.

A Persian account said that the IRGC stores munitions in the mosques.

So now the Ayatollah is claiming that the protesters are doing Trump's bidding.

I can support that.


You might think that Iran has no support outside of the Revolutionary Guards. That's not true. Tucker Carlson continues supporting them, and Iran state TV is playing clips of Tucker Carlson, translated into Persian, to rally the radical Islamist faithful.

Open Source Intel
@Osint613

In Iran right now:

* No internet
* No phone calls
* No communication with the outside world

Yet the Islamic regime's main state broadcaster is airing and promoting Tucker Carlson.

This was way too much for my brain to handle.

Worth every dollar Russia and Qatar are paying him.

He must be so proud!

In Tucker Carlson's newsletter yesterday, he blamed the death of the lunatic leftist lesbian on... yes, you guessed it, Israel.

If you're wondering how he connects those dots, easy: He claims that Americans have become inured to the sight of a government killing protesters by Israel's actions in Gaza, and therefore Israel's policy of indiscriminately murdering Mostly Peaceful Protesters has infected us.

He also attacks the right for failing to view the ICE attacker "through a human lens." We're meant to sympathize and grieve for the attempted murderer, and if we don't, we're showing our lack of humanity.

Boy this kind of hypermoralistic, preening, I'm-better-than-you-because-I-have-greater-empathy sure reminds me of the hard left.

Qatarlson is also defending Qatar's injection of $6.6 billion into American universities, asking what's the big deal if an Arab country wants to buy some influence in our schools? At least they're not Jews!

No seriously that's what he says. He says it's no big deal Because AIPAC.

168 Iran did a blackout so that their irgc could not see him fleeing. the only way to track movement aside from content that makes it onto social media is to follow the mesh networks and other sensory 'pings'. IRIB has been a mess since Friday prayers and the transition to evening. I think Ali himself may have spoken at Friday prayers earlier. Then potentially ran with his tail between his legs.

I doubt they've left yet, but imagine being one of the guys trying to suppress the revolt, and hearing the news that the big guys have flown to safety. Meanwhile, you're standing there in a sea of humanity who want to tear you to pieces.

While normally this wouldn't matter too much to most of you, for people like me the fact that they also have built in Tazers matter. I spent much of the Consumer Electronics Show this past week in Vegas twitching on the floor of the exhibition hall; I walked in the hall and immediately got Tazed just for looking. The shouts of "Die scumbag, die." were deafening.

Worse, it turned out I was in the wrong hall, and it was actually the Vegas Hooker's annual convention I had stumbled into.

I am not sure I agree. The world order - that is, the Postwar norm, as modified by the fall of the USSR - failed. It's last gasp was 2020. It's over, and it has been over for a while. The COVID-related excesses were the final spasm, and represents the transition. It was Year Zero.

Trump is the first major player to acknowledge it, and to try to operate accordingly. Whether it works remains to be seen, but he and his team understand it. He isn't tearing down the world order, he is trying to secure our place in the new one.

I viewed the agitating lesbian through the lens of the ICE agent's camera, thanks, Tucker. She had a sneer on her face when she died. Her "wife/widow" told her to DRIVE and she did obey, on an icy street, into the ICE agent after they clearly told her to get out of her car. Is that how I should view her?

Also through the lens of her two children being with her first husband due to abuse? That lens?

260 The reason that I ultimately rejected James Lindsay's redefinition of "Woke" was that in one elaboration he came close to saying that Christians, as they believe they possess secret knowledge of the world related to Jesus as King, could be called "Woke".

He didn't go so far as to call Christians "woke", and he expressly said he wasn't talking about Christians, but it was simply a band-aid he put over a logical conclusion of his definition of "Woke".

Special pleading "I don't mean Christians." is fine to his intent, but it doesn't work.

This is exactly how Darwinism turned the justification of many forms of totalitarianism. Darwin said that we *must* be doing ourselves harm by "allowing our worst members" to live and reproduce--any expert in animal husbandry could *see* that.

He countered with some hand-waving about the "noblest part of our nature", totally oblivious to how that banding together means the deal can be negotiated later. All it takes is for some skepticism about the "noblest part of our nature" and whether the bargain to do *obvious* damage is really worth it.

Stipulative balances really aren't anything. Because unless it's solid, it can be renegotiated.

Someone with authority in the military is going to have to step forward and assert control. That's the only group that has the organization and ability to try to run the country if the Ayatollah's fall. Remember that the entire Iranian Economy has been shut down for 13 days now, the entire country is doing a Thelma and Louise, somebody has got to gain control of something.

The first two kids are with husband #1 due to her abuse.

Suicide in 2023 is the rumor for #2. But that's when he died. She then took the kid from CO to Missouri, where the "wife" lived (I guess). It is her SUV. After Trump was elected they took the kid to Canada for a year and recently came to live in an uber liberal section of Minneapolis. Put the kid in an indoctrination charter school.

302 Report:

As most of the Spanish speaking world (and many in the English speaking world) now realize, the plucking of Dictator Nicolas Maduro out of Venezuela in the early morning hours of January 3, 2026 was facilitated by a deal arranged by Special Envoy Rick Grenell with Venezuelan Vice President (now acting President) Delcy Rodriguez and her brother, Jorge Rodriguez, who is the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly.

Posted by: Bulg

Gotten worse. Evidence has surfaced that the Chagos did have a native population that the Brits deported in the 1800's. That destroys the claims of Mauritius which are based on teh fact that the Chagos were administratively controlled from that Island chain thousands of kilometers away.

If there is/was an indigenous population, then the deal is illegal according to British law which is how the House of Lords has delayed the legislation four times now.

Posted by: ErikInTexas at January 09, 2026 03:08 PM (4b7CV)

DataRepublican recently posted a fascinating essay, far too detailed and insightful for me to even summarize, but a rough thumbnail is that current world leaders *like* systems that are "legible" and definable. Doesn't matter if they're evil or tyrannical; it just matters that they play their roll and don't upset the status quo too much. Iran and Venezuela fit that; Europeans and other Davos types were fine with them, as long as they continued to play their assigned rolls.

They are terrified and horrified of Trump because he is a Disruptor - he doesn't care a bit about this old system, he is going after what he sees as evil and ripe for a fall. And in doing that, he is destabilizing the entire world system and upsetting all kinds of relationships and dependencies that they all thought they could count on forever.

Trump has unbalanced their world, and the old system is flying apart under the stress.

Long history there. Fascinating read, too. It goes way back to WWI, Brit and later our involvement. See the 1953 coup, and ownward.

The Shah launched the "White Revolution" in the '60s to bring Iran out of the middle ages into the 20th Century. That pissed off the mullahs. Khomeini emerged from that. Then he had problems with commies.

That is a pretty stupid take on Lindsey's part. There is no "secret knowledge" in Christianity. Have faith, or not, that Jesus Christ is the Word Made Flesh and the Second Person of the Trinity -- but it's not secret.

Now, the Gnostics believed in secret knowledge, but the Catholic Church has labeled Gnosticism a heresy for almost 2000 years.

“The propagators of this dogma tried to prove their theory correct.”

“In the 1960s, the colleagues of Ansel Keys tried to do the end-all study to prove saturated fat caused our health problems.”

“The low-fat group had higher rates of coronary heart disease and heart attacks.”

“The opposite of what they expected.”

“They suppressed the data for 16 years.”

“When you avoid fat, you end up with ultra-processed carbohydrates and sugar.”

“We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, burdened with ultra-processed foods.”

“Those days are over. Are telling people the truth about food.”

346 Marxist blame corruption on the "for-self" factor of free economies. Where it's no shame to be out to increase your wealth, your standing, and your sphere of influence.

However, then they create Marxist-based governments, where people still have to be in power and those people in power recompense themselves for their relative "contribution" to the system.

There's no system of law by which Beria should have been able to extort sex from the wives of men he had incarcerated, or men he incarcerated because he wanted to extort their wives for sex.

It didn't benefit the USSR per se, it just allowed him a more desirable selection of sex partners.

386 Gotten worse. Evidence has surfaced that the Chagos did have a native population that the Brits deported in the 1800's. That destroys the claims of Mauritius which are based on teh fact that the Chagos were administratively controlled from that Island chain thousands of kilometers away.

If there is/was an indigenous population, then the deal is illegal according to British law which is how the House of Lords has delayed the legislation four times now.

The Chagos deal is simply an action by Starmer to hurt the US at Diego Garcia, while embarrasing the British people and sending a whole lot of money to the third world.

Those of you over 29 may not realize this, but a shocking number of young adults will reverse a car and then either stop by shifting into park while rolling, or by kicking it into drive while still rolling backwards.

You know, because they're fucking retarded. But also being retards, they think this is some sorta of gotcha mitigating factor.

Yes, but a non-Christian can know something about "Christianity" and doctrines and beliefs. But a Christian knows that about the world. And thus Christianity is a belief that we have a selected insight into the entirety of the world.

It's not secret knowledge like that. But again, Lindsay did not restrict it to cult knowledge. He expanded it to people who feel they really know how the world is. To be a Christian really means that the world is groaning for the revelation of the Sons of God, and to train yourself to see it.

If you're a non-Christian, you might well know that Christians believe that "Jesus is on the throne". But when you are a Christian you believe that some part of reality is Jesus on his throne, and the world awaits his Return. Those forces are in play.

I got the impression from Pahlavi that he was a johnny-come-lately who's trying to come in at the last minute and set himself up as the next Persian strongman.

I hope I'm wrong.

Because he's in a unique position to actually BE that national savior, to be the cultural figurehead that the Persian people can look up to who isn't after personal power, who just wants to be the moral and cultural leader, leaving the true day to day power to a leader chosen by the people.

True in official agnostics but the principle is bigger than that. Con men find fairly intelligent people to be the easy marks because a stupid person will admit if they don't understand something and a extremely smart person often knows the limits of knowledge. The midwits, however, can take a bunch of facts, put it in a blender and reach the conclusion that the con man leads them to.

In part, that is the reason for just asking questions--it insinuates the questioner has some knowledge of things that they are not fully disclosing ( a reason for the question), then the pattern seeking behavior in the midwit intellect is ignited.

Sprinkle some facts in the subsequent questions and elicited responses from the interviewee, and suddenly the viewer has figured out puzzle, felt it came to them by their own intellect, and is oblivious to be manipulated into the result.

Works best in audio/video format and less so in written documents. Writing can always be crosschecked and emotions are less at play when reading.

US Marines Seize Another False-Flag Ship of the "Dark Fleet"

Trump announced that the planned "second wave" of attacks on Venezuela have been cancelled, as the narcoterrorist state is releasing political prisoners in an attempt to seek peace.

President Trump on Friday said he canceled an "expected second Wave of Attacks" on Venezuela, less than a week after U.S. strikes in Caracas resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

"Venezuela is releasing large numbers of political prisoners as a sign of 'Seeking Peace,'" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "This is a very important and smart gesture. The U.S.A. and Venezuela are working well together, especially as it pertains to rebuilding, in a much bigger, better, and more modern form, their oil and gas infrastructure."

"Because of this cooperation, I have cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks, which looks like it will not be needed, however, all ships will stay in place for safety and security purposes," the president continued. "At least 100 Billion Dollars will be invested by BIG OIL, all of whom I will be meeting with today at The White House."

He previously said during a press conference on Saturday that a second attack would be "much larger" but likely no longer "necessary," citing the success of the initial attack.

It might also be that Trump's blockade of Venezuela might be enough to do the trick.


The WSJ:

The U.S. Coast Guard boarded a fifth oil tanker early Friday morning and continued to eye other vessels trying to evade the U.S. blockade on sanctioned tankers traveling to and from Venezuela, according to U.S. officials.

The tanker targeted Friday was the Olina, said the officials and Vanguard, a shipping security and tracking company. The ship, previously named the Minerva M, was sanctioned by the U.S. for its role in transporting Russian oil. The move is likely to inflame tensions between Washington and Moscow days after the U.S. seized a ship that claimed Russian protection and was being escorted by the Russian Navy.

The ship has an East Timor flag, and the last time it transmitted its position was in mid-November near the coast of Venezuela, according to Marine Traffic, a global ship-tracking service, which added that it was sailing under a false flag.

Ed Morrissey explains Trump's plan:

In the short run, this does put pressure on Delcy Rodriguez, who wants to run the Maduro regime without Maduro himself, who will spend much of the rest of his life as a guest of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. She needs the revenue from illicit oil sales just as much as Maduro did, and possibly more, given her less-stable situation at the top of the regime. Trump wants the regime gone, but doesn't necessarily want to put boots on the ground to accomplish it. Better to starve the regime and let the hyenas tear each other apart, but hopefully before Venezuelans pay the prices for that kind of collapse for too long.

The "dark fleet" also puts money in the hands of Putin and the Mullahs of Iran.

And delivers oil to Red China.

Venezuela is in the middle of the Iran-Red China-Russia trade system, and it's not just oil. They move people, goods, materials, etc. through Venezuela, too. Venezuela is not itself a huge participant (other than shipping oil out, mostly to the Orient), but it is an important hub.

Plus, the "Dark Fleet" vessels seized will likely become US-flagged property, adding to our non-combat naval assets or merchant marine.

41 Incidentally, there is another indirect aspect of stopping the circumvention of sanctions by Venezuela, Iran, and Russia.

Iran, who supported the various hell raisers in Yemen (Houthis etc.) are currently in a fight to keep their own heads above water, and have turned away from funding discord in Yemen. As a result, there is an actual effort right now to achieve a peace agreement with even the insurgent south in that country. A leader of the south was supposed to show up in Saudi Arabia for these optimistic negotiations, and instead he stowed aboard a small ship and flew to Somalia and then parts unknown.

In short, the real trouble makers in that country are leaving and have lost financing because Iran is in such dire straights (directly related to stopping these dark fleet crude transporters for Iran's refinery operations).

43 Moves like this always get framed as enforcement or deterrence, but they also show how geopolitics often plays out through symbolic actions as much as concrete outcomes. Seizing another tanker may send a message, but it rarely resolves the underlying issues driving these standoffs.

MAGA made america godzilla again….Taking what it wants, destroying all others, to the surprise of no one. Still think Venezuela isn't about oil?

Lol who thinks this when Trump literally came out and said it was about oil?

So the GOP Can add piracy on open sea to their list of crimes. its only going to make the rest of the world run harder towards solar and alternative energy. Enough already w/ the dumb oil wars

So what is the justification for selling the oil? Where is the court order authorizing this seizure? We are just using the military to seize cargo to enrich Trump personally and his cronies.

51 I believe Trump is continuing on with his plan of seizing the ships, selling the oil at market rates to China, and then send thr money to Venezuela in return for cooperation and to keep their economy running.

The Chinese were buying a lot of Venezuelan oil at discount because of the sanctions. Now they are going to pay full price for the same oil while their influence in Venezuela is slowly choked off along with Iran and Russia.

That seems to be what Trump is trying to accomplish here.

Maybe. I am not sure if Trump or Rubio much care about the regime. Stop playing footsie with China and Iran, stop shipping drugs and arms and gangsters into the United States, stop back-stopping other hostile regimes (like Cuba), make restitution for the property you stole.

Nope. There are clear international law here ironically. There is a long chain of requirements how vessels are supposed to be flagged--ship's registries, etc. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, there have been international sanctions on its export of oil. Same as Iran and Venezuela. We did not impose these sanctions, ironically international bodies did and that means any vessel carrying such contraband may be stopped, searched, and seized if contraband is present by any nation's military force.

Same as us blowing up druggie boats in international waters. They are regarded the same as pirates and smugglers in international law because they are conspirators in criminal actions and refusing to take the flag of the nation that might give them protection.

These laws of the sea date way back and was part of the reason that the US and Britain went to war in 1812.

Any country seizing US vessels lawfully navigating international waters is playing with fire. Nations and quasi-nations seizing our ships and personnel has been treated very seriously since the foundation of the nation, and I don't think Trump is the President to fuck around with.

Russia is going to end up settling the Ukraine war because it simply is not going to be worth the cost in blood and treasure. Russia's finances do not work out when they are denied access to blocked funds, their oil sales due to sanctions are below the sustainable rate, and the cash burn for the war and welfare payments will require external debt (or its assets frozen) in about one year. 45-50 Dollars per barrel is not enough money for them to operate long term nor even keep up maintenance on existing oil wells in Siberia and other places.

China trying to pull shit on oil is likely to draw back a bloody stump regarding oil to Japan. Japan has a very competent navy and modern equipment. Plus China is even more vulnerable to oil shipments being stopped.

Iran and Russia are where China gets most of its oil from.

You’ve been lulled. It’s like a siren leading you into the rocks. You’ve been lulled into just saying ‘F Trump. F Trump. F Trump. Screw this guy.’

And I think you’ve now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you’ve exchanged it for anger.

This comment above is correct from what I have seen.
They also need permission from the country where it is flagged before they can board. The US (Marco?) is using our power to get those countries to agree to let us board.

Switching the flag to Russia is a ploy, and it doesn't work since there is a procedure to do that so US is legit in boarding, checking documentation, and seizing.

Yep. Chicoms cannot help but present the lying two faced Panda v. Dragon. Same reason for bad products being shipped over time. Apparently that is as old as actual China being sent West.

The initial loads were excellent but then each subsequent shipment became more and more degraded in quality so as to make the maximum profit. That tendency made Wedgewood china famous because its quality was the same over time.

Send your American stuff near Russia and China, expect it to get seized and robbed.

Well, you can scratch two off that list. The Chinese fleet (of which they have multiple) decided it would be a good idea to go into Argentinian waters last month and use spot lights to bring giant squid to the surface for harvesting. Milei ordered his Navy out to confront them and his Coast Guard sunk two Chinese boats in the process.

I suspect the Chinese fishing fleets are going to have problems going forward. Reports coming in show they are actually using slave labor to crew many of them.

@DefiyantlyFree
Minnesota has spent years building an infrastructure of ICE watch patrols, NGO backed rapid response teams, and politically wired nonprofits that can flip from ordinary life to street mobilization in minutes.
The key to Minnesota's rapid mobilization is not Twitter activism. It is an on the ground surveillance and response network that local reporters have already documented in detail. A Star Tribune investigation into the "organized resistance to ICE" in Minnesota reads like a field manual for modern grassroots intelligence operations.​....

He was circling a running car. The car went to move and he just stood there. He was boxing her in. I was more concerned for her wife that wasn’t even in her car yet.

They'll give him the full Rittenhouse. I'm sure they'll give him a job at Fox and he'll become the new Dan Bongino. They just love ppl who kill women and children

And they literally told her “get out of here." I’m just saying, this dude has been hit by 2 cars recently, maybe he’s a fucking moron

Seems like he's releasing the footage because the moment he leaned into the vehicle while pulling his weapon out, the camera movement makes it look like she made contact with him, rather than other way around. His cellphone clearly shows her making a hard right to avoid him.

this is a good thing. from his angle it was directly visible that she was turning her wheels to get away. it shows a clear timeline: he films her backing up, then turning AWAY FROM HIM and **then** he pulls out his gun.

This is a big problem right now -- The Russians evading sanctions, the Chinese and their vulture fishing fleets (mentioned above -- they are a big problem off South America. They sit outside 200 mile limit, then turn off transponders at night and go inside to fish.)

They run a while, then turn off transponders. That is OK, but it puts them at risk since if they are not visible to satellites who would know if they sank or why? I think we should Immanentize that risk. Sink a few and the nonsense will stop. We need a fleet of sniper subs to end the dark fleet.

Amusingly, what Trump is doing is enforcing "international law". That's what everyone is worked up about. We have treaties which say 'X'. We agree to that treaty. We uphold 'X'.

But no one else expected 'X' to be upheld. All that shit was just to give bureaucrats something to put on their annual review and politicians something to tell voters.

Like how Congress always promises that they'll totally fight to pass the same law that's already on the books a dozen times. All fake. All ghey. All an op.

239 Minnesota has spent years building an infrastructure of ICE watch patrols, NGO backed rapid response teams, and politically wired nonprofits that can flip from ordinary life to street mobilization in minutes.
The key to Minnesota's rapid mobilization is not Twitter activism. It is an on the ground surveillance and response network that local reporters have already documented in detail. A Star Tribune investigation into the "organized resistance to ICE" in Minnesota reads like a field manual for modern grassroots intelligence operations.​....

Reports had the agent that shot had been dragged and injured by another asshole trying to escape ICE previous to the MN deployment.

One of the reasons, I think he shot through the windshield rather than moving first was that his fellow officer was in the same position that he was in previously where the driver would not comply and was dragging the ICE officer at the window along with the vehicle.

You can see the officers sliding on the road ice and it gets very easy to slip and fall under moving car wheels in that condition.

I just figured out why the Minnesota ICE death is bothering me so much.

This liberal woman was willing to take on federal agents, to disrupt ICE operations, in order to protect criminal Somalis.

Obviously, she probably didn't imagine she would be killed. But surely, she must have known that, at the very least, she could be arrested.

She has three kids. So she was willing to be separated from her kids to protect criminal Somalis.

Speaking as a mother, this is insanity. This is not rational thinking.

What it is, instead, is the result of liberal brainrot that convinces progressive women they have more of a duty to nurture and protect poor, brown (criminal!) strangers than their own country, and hell, even their own children.

Chuck Norris lives in Texas is why.

Leftists use emo thinking rather than logic so nothing they say or do actually makes logical sense. It is all about oppressor, oppressed or some other bullshit. Also sexism because frankly if it was a white man getting shot by ICE, no one would much care. But White lesbo AWFL had Karen and Pokemon privileges not to be arrested or hindered in her attempts to run over officers if needed to escape.

From the recent video with audio, I also wonder if in fact those plates were taken or stolen from another vehicle. The outside lesbo filming was trying to defend having those plates on the car and then distract the officer with insults about being fat, etc. Strange interlude so maybe there was a crime being covered up simply from the officer viewing those license plates.

Because we know from the filmed interactions that the Karens had blocked ICE previously on that same day - had they been arrested at the first such incident presumably the fem Karen would still be alive...

399 For those interested, an in depth discussion by the Atlantic Council of Russian economy in 2025.
https://tinyurl.com/5h3dak4e


Russia is mortgaging its future to China. Bad move.

From the article:
Economically and politically, Russia’s relationship with China is simultaneously deeply asymmetrical and mutually beneficial. While Moscow has not become Beijing’s vassal—at least not to the extent that it would attack NATO purely to distract the Alliance from a war for Taiwan—Russia is certainly the junior partner in the “no limits” partnership. China has served as a lifeline for Russia, while Russia has supplied China with cheap energy and raw materials.

On one hand, China has easily overtaken the EU to become Russia’s largest trading partner. On the other hand, Russia accounts for just 3 percent of China’s exports and 5 percent of China’s imports as of 2024.


Sooner or later, China is going to want its land back - the land taken by Russia during the century of humiliation.

Gee, then the germans should have supported US for the last 50 years assholes. We told you not to buy gas from Russia. We told you to fund your military. We told you not to take in an endless stream of refuges. We told you not to overly relie on wind and solar.

And you laughed.

We asked for your help after 911, you provided none. We asked for your help funding the war in Ukraine, with lackluster results. We asked for help to dela with Houthi rebels, and you guys sent, carry the 1, fuck all.

What is it you would say you do around here?

Helen Andrews: Somalis Have Been Scamming the Government Since They Got Here

It's their culture.

And their culture is piracy.


When unverified rumors first circulated that Rep. Ilhan Omar had once been married to her own brother, some liberals were scandalized that Republicans had the nerve to mention the rumor at all. You don't accuse someone of something like that without solid proof, as one friend said to me.

But it was all a matter of context. The same sentence that sounded bizarre and depraved to American ears--she married her own brother?--sounded banal to anyone familiar with the Somali diaspora, where pretending to be someone's mother, wife, or sister is a common way of obtaining legal residency for them. A 2008 State Department study of African refugees (many of them Somali) seeking family reunification in the United States found that 80 percent of applications included at least one fraudulent family member. The program was then suspended for four years until a DNA testing requirement could be added.

...

The type of fraud alleged in the [Nick Shirley] video matched the fraud described in an August 2018 memo by a Minnesota Department of Human Services investigator, which claimed that "the overall fraud rate in this program [CCAP] is at least 50 percent." DHS stopped payments to fifteen daycares for "demonstrated intentional overbilling" on the scale of "an average of 23.9 children per day, per center."

Keep that in mind when they say "We found three kids there." Okay, how many kids were they bilking the government for?

These centers did serve children, just not as many as they claimed. "It is not unusual to see attendance records claim X number of children arrived at the center between 8:00 am and 11:00 am when the video surveillance shows only a fraction of that number," the memo states.

Here's an additional excerpt she posted to Twitter:

daycarefraudsomali.jpg

A blackpilled commenter said "What is the gop going to do?," suggesting the answer is "nothing."

Greg Foreman compiles some clips of Scott Bessent and others talking about this piracy.

Some of the highlights:

1) Bessent will now require anyone attempting to send money overseas to check a box asserting that they are not on public assistance. If they're on welfare, then they can't send money overseas, because they're obviously fraudsters. People on welfare cannot afford to send pirate booty back to their pirate nation -- not unless they're double- and triple dipping.

Now, of course they can check that box even if they are on welfare -- but now they're committing an easy-to-prove crime.

2) In areas in which fraud is rampant, Bessent is lowering the Suspicious Activity Threshhold from $10,000 to $3,000. It's not a crime to send money above those amounts, but Treasury and the IRS will be scrutinizing these transactions. Again, this applies to specific areas where fraud is rampant.

3) Bessent says that up to 10% of all government spending may be fraudulent, which he says works out to 1-2% of the total national Gross Domestic Product -- everything we produce, everything we make -- being stolen from us.

4) He's also sending squads of IRS criminal investigators to open up investigations into four broad areas of fraud.

5) An official says that Minnesota's DHS -- I think that's Housing Services -- was required to fill out forms certifying that they had scrutinized grant applications and done due diligence to determine they are not fraudulent. But the workers in the DHS did not bother filling out these forms. When the forms were demanded, they began fabricating them and back-dating them to make it appear that they were doing their jobs, rather than just sending out American taxpayer dollars to pirates.

Below: Scanning a spending bill, Joni Ernst discovered a suspicious $1 million earmark for a Somali "charity." Guess who it had been inserted by? That's right, brother-fucker Ilhan Omar.

She stripped the earmark out and hopefully contacted the IRS and DOJ to let them know they should investigate the matter.

Hello everyone. Happy Friday.

This is an excellent idea.

26 Somalis don't usually wire the money tho.

they just physically bring major amounts of dollars back overseas. the TSA apparently got a cut because they just ... let them do this.

they're sneaky and will do whatever. Bessent has the right idea but needs to really keep an eye on these people.

ugh they all need to GO BACK

27 Just to clarify, the somalis are not the brains behind this, just have a look at their average IQ. This was set up by the same party that insisted on bringing them into the country, legally or illegally.

The system was set up to defraud the taxpayers, and kick back a hefty percentage to the party in order to fund candidates and get out the vote efforts. The money is also funneled to other democrat candidates in other states.

The reason Walz was picked as VP candidate was because he could access huge amounts of illegal money in a short time.

They were allowed immigrate to the US for the exact reasons we are seeing. They are a reliable voting block for the left in exchange for payment, aka fraud. It doesn't cost the fraud enablers in our government a cent and they get guaranteed votes.

That's why leftists are fighting so hard to keep this fraud from being exposed. They are at least complicit in the fraud and more than likely benefiting financially themselves in addition to almost guaranteed electoral victory.

I think the Dems are going to go kinetic with their flying monkeys. The amount of money at stake and their liberty is now on the line so I think the Dems will go for broke sooner than later.

At a minimum, Bessent argues that the take was between 300-600 billion in fraud. Musk, who probably take a broader view estimates 1 trillion to 1.5 trillion of fraud, waste, and abuse.

And this stolen money runs the urban shitholes and fraud centers in every state while the jobs, taxpayers, and industry flee from the urban areas.

Our entire urban economic system relies on welfare clients and voter fraud, a bit of tourism including medical services, and raking off vast amounts of money to government types and their families as kickbacks, drug lord protection payments, stolen taxpayer money, bribery.

No wonder our cities are shitholes, they used the Flynn method in Boston as refined by Coleman in Detroit to drive out and destroy honest businesses and taxpaying citizen neighborhoods.

I think almost everyone in the big cities is getting some share of the loot stolen.

The person described a computer class in Haiti. There were no computers there in the computer class. Just a bunch of Haitians and a teacher going "This is how you would select a file" while playing charades. They weren't learning anything. It was a complete waste of time and resources. Yet it was still occurring. Someone was paying for it, and someone was being paid.

113 A lot of people are missing the forest through the trees. In the end, this isn’t about fraud, it’s about power.

Democrats plan is to flood cities with third-world people, especially tight knot clan groups like the Somalians. They put them on the voters rolls and use taxpayer funds as payment for their votes. In then end, they were successful in taking over the entire state of Minnesota.

In NY, Mamdani leveraged the foreign born population to take over NYC. NY State will be next to fall. Hochul the Donkey is already promising huge taxpayer giveaways to the foreign born population for their vote. That’s in addition to all the fraud that’s about to be uncovered.

The force multiplier for this subversion are purposely weak electoral processes which allow rampant fraud to push these extremists over the top. We’ve seen it with the vote harvesting in Minnesota, and NY has equally lax policies.

Posted by: Octochicken
=====
Fincen and databases are a very powerful tool and once employed in an area, it can now cross reference medicaid and snap benefits with the person sending money abroad. They can use cutouts but that becomes pretty easy to indicate when they cross check IRS payroll and FISA withholdings--you don't have a job and are sending 3k abroad, then suspicious transaction flagged, do it again, cops come to see you.

Ultimately that means a reversion to the old Islamic courier system but that means transferring large amounts of cash by couriers which makes it easy to intercept.

And the initial asshole trying to send fraudulent welfare benefits abroad gets deported for lying on the form.

The system is a Somali (and other assorted asshole) removal system. That is why DOGE was being resisted so much is because the feds had the data all along to link up the fraud machine culprits, they were just willfully blind by putting all that information in silos. Bessent being acting IRS commissioner makes it easier.

157 The commie plan in the civilized world was all in all not a bad one.

When times are good, convince everyone of the need for a "social safety net" to make a "strong country" by using already built up wealth and the hearts and general desire of humans to be good when it's easy (ie with a vote).

Step 2. Open the country up to every single scum and slime that exists and all their friends and hand all the wealth to and through them, destroying the entire concept of both a "safety net" AND a "strong country" while QOL goes down for everyone you stole from and up for anyone you choose.

Essentially give all the wealth away and siphon off a large cut. Use said money to develop criminal enterprises, weaken your stated enemies, and enrich yourselves. By the time anyone figures out what happened it'll be too shitfuck late and you'll be on the beach, earning 20%.

The system collapses because without the fed money, these blue states have methodically destroyed their own state economies. Aka Rentier states because the income streams and economy are from federal funds.

Those foreigners will not fight without getting paid, if they don't get paid, they might terrorize the blue state but that is a very different thing to fighting the federal government. Even oligarchs like Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, etc. do not have the money to keep these fraud machines running for long.

Federal money is the key--no fed money, fraud machine starts to misfire and break down--the voter harvesters are not paid, the vote fraud workers aren't paid, etc.

You see this end state in failing countries abroad, when the grift is gone and the magic Pez fraud machine no longer works, and the place has to experience austerity (aka real world of productivity instead of parasitism).

176 This guy is going to pop up in the news in the not too distant future. Mohamed Said Duale. He's arguably the richest man in Somalia (Billionaire)....and he made his fortune via a money transfer business.

I was a bit annoyed that none of these media accounts (even on the right) make any effort to identify the primary banking systems used by the Somalis in Minneapolis. The answer is Wells Fargo (due to that bank having a significant number of Somalis working in the local branches there).

The big money transfer operation used in Minneapolis is Dahabshiil Money Transfer (which is owned by the guy I mentioned above, Mohamed Said Duale). I'd guess that guy is likely participating in the various fraud schemes found in Minneapolis, and despite the average IQ of a Somali, it only takes one guy with a brain to set it up and upgrade.

187 Unrelated, but hilarious, news report:

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life. Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards or access everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary.

This summer Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge at the International Criminal Court (ICC), arrived at her home in The Hague and, as was her habit, called out “Alexa”.

There was silence. The voice-activated assistant did not respond. “Alexa was dead. She wouldn’t talk to me,” Prost recalled.

Prost had been added to the United States’ sanctions list, because in 2020 she ruled to authorise an investigation into possible atrocities in Afghanistan, including by US troops. Amazon, obliged to implement the sanctions as a US company, had cancelled her account.

The US has sanctioned six ICC judges this year, along with the court’s chief prosecutor and two deputy prosecutors.

“The purpose is clear. They have said, basically, we’re imposing these sanctions because of decisions you’ve taken in your role as a judge. So effectively, they are interfering directly with the independence of a judge,” Prost said.

Strong odds that she was on the welfare rolls before her "professional disability era" started. Many states have actual government offices designed to help people commit disability fraud. They're often called "navigators" but what they are in reality is fraud enablers.

Disability is federal. Every welfare case the state can help claim disability exits the state's books and enters the FedGov's. The states have tremendous incentive to enable disability fraud, and it is almost never punished - and when it is, the individual is punished, not the state agency that guided the individual through the system.

The easiest way to get disability benefits is to be on state-level welfare first.

Mary K Hamm made the point that this scam was so open and brazen because blacks -- and especially Muslim immigrant blacks -- can do anything and get away with it.

I think she over-sold the point, but there's no doubt a scam run by blue-eyed blonde vikings with names like Hrothgar and Bjarke would have been harder to pull off, at least to massive extent the Somalis did.

Off the top of my head plan:

1. Make it so companies that wire money overseas have to do a cross check with federal databases.

2. Require something like a Real ID to send money overseas.

3. Implement fines of $100,000 for non compliance

4 Announce a team of agents that will do on site inspections for money wire transfer agents. Kinda like the old school INS workplace raids but for money wire locations.

MINNESOTA WHISTLEBLOWERS WARNED TO STAY SILENT: "YOU'LL LOSE YOUR JOB, YOUR HOME, & THEY'LL TRACK YOUR KIDS"

Minnesota State Rep. Marion Rarick says whistleblowers trying to expose fraud in state-run programs are being hit with threats straight out of a political thriller.

She warned that the intimidation is systemic, and basically if you speak up, expect your life to be dismantled....

@DefiyantlyFree
Minnesota has spent years building an infrastructure of ICE watch patrols, NGO backed rapid response teams, and politically wired nonprofits that can flip from ordinary life to street mobilization in minutes.
The key to Minnesota's rapid mobilization is not Twitter activism. It is an on the ground surveillance and response network that local reporters have already documented in detail. A Star Tribune investigation into the "organized resistance to ICE" in Minnesota reads like a field manual for modern grassroots intelligence operations.​....

Exactly. You have to not only ramp up and escalate, but you need to punish the domestic terrorists directly and indirectly. Anytime an ICE agent is struck? $2000 bonus. Stuck and injured? $5000 bonus. Make it public and immediate. Have the agents thank the protesters for the bonuses. Sure, long-term it's not sustainable, and could lead to agents deliberately provoking incidents, but in the short-term, it would be amazing. Boost officer morale AND put the agitators in a difficult dilemma.

Sort of.

*IF* the bank robber happens to work for - or better yet, own - the bank. "The best way to rob a bank is to own one."

That's a more apt comparison to what is going on. The "bank robbers" are a network of tellers and loan officers (bureaucrats) handing bank low-interest loans to their friends (the NGOs) without any due diligence or verification or expectation of repayment, who then use it to start fake businesses and in exchange they kick money back to the bank president and his buddies (the politicians and high-level administrators) in the form of phony purchases (campaign contributions and business gifts). When the bank eventually fails because of the rotten fraud everywhere, the FDIC (FedGov) bails it out with a few executives changing positions to save face.

Which is exactly where, historically, all of everyone's efforts to curtail bad behavior by passing laws has failed.

So. Putting the checkbox on so people have to admit in writing that they are knowingly doing something illegal - great.

The government now has to follow through one punishing them for that - i.e. enforce the laws against the bad behavior.

It's time people learn that "sanctuary city" is a conceit. It's bluster. There's no actual such thing in our system.

It's just been allowed to fester.

And you think about it, circa 20-teens the progs told us that states rights were racist and that states should be no more than administrative jurisdictions of the federal government.

This is why you can't have a nice country with these dissemblers.

1. They are not disciplined thinkers, and they only cite principles when convenient.

In other words, they are for local control, when it's their control.

This level of criminality needs to be explained in wallet and pocketbook terms. Bessent came close today by stating a GDP percentage of fraudulent activity. Not good enough. Rich people must come down to everyday comparisons like $9B of fraud would have paid the average power bill of X number of American households, or, $9B of fraud would have paid the average student loan balance of X number of taxpayers, or $9B would pay for the average grocery bill for X number of Americans.

That's funny. Because we do 80-90% of what "NATO" does. They're really going to send their men to confront the bulk of the force that NATO tends to put on the ground?!

And where is this in the NATO agreement?

If one country starts enforcing laws on the books more harshly than another faction wants, NATO is to treat it like an invasion of the Asia alliance?

That would actually create a condition that NATO should deploy to fight as one of their key countries is being invaded.

It just illustrates the lack of sense and the lawlessness.

I'm not sure that would work, because felony murder applies when one of your group kills someone. In this case, the person who got killed was in the group. Not sure FM applies.

But if nothing else, this cunt was openly hostile and actively encouraged her "wife" to run over a cop. And I think that's exactly what she did. There was some talk yesterday about whether the driver just panicked and took off. But does she looked panicked in the vid? No. She looks like she knows what she is doing.

This was attempted murder, with the wife as an active accomplice. Arrest and prosecute.

They are all located in Minneapolis. BUT, the way they operate is to set up licensed Transfer Agents in select states across the country.

The largest Somali immigrant populations in the US are in Minnesota, Maine, Ohio, Washington, Texas, and California. Each of these states have money transfer agents of Dahabshill located primarily in the areas inhabited by Somali immigrants.

Let's hope the new "DOJ Fraud specialist" does a little digging into Dahabshil.

And one of 7 owned by the same individuals.

It's like this, have you ever thought about how you'd not get caught, how hard it would be, if you stole $1 million?
How would you launder it?
Just conceptually, most people don't understand how much that is.

They have to send $50k and $100k payments every month. Using a whole pack of welfare mules, that's doable.
Now they'll need 500, 1000 to evade the $3k limit.
While keeping all of them quiet.
And not stealing from them.

Does anyone know anywhere that allows you to compare your employer provided health insurance numbers, premiums, deductible, coverage, etc.. to national averages?

I'm constantly getting complaints about how much ours cost and always, "but but all my friends have much better insurance, blah blah". I've tried and only find general numbers, I'd like something I can plug my coverage in to compare with average plan details. I think mine is about average and obamacare screwed it all up for everyone but I can't find a definitive source.

Anyone know a useful comparison tool anywhere?

Traditionally, abortion was not deemed permissible by Muslim scholars. Shiite scholars considered it forbidden after implantation of the fertilised ovum. However, Sunni scholars have held various opinions on the matter, but all agreed that after 4 months gestation abortion was not permitted.

It also shows how clearly the driver could see him right in front of the truck. Her wife yells at her to gun it, and she does -- right at the cop. This was no panic drive-away.

Yeah but leftists don't actually give a shit about reality, only their narratives. The video though is enough to persuade a lot of the normies though that mebbe it was simply a tragedy that the woman did not back off and only enrages the right.

The few that were defenders of that terrorist are probably going to have to take a bench even if they mutter under their breath that the officer shoulda moved or not shot or something.

Most police involved shootings (or self defense even) occur in an unseen context and suddenly everything is over in a few seconds. In this case, about 20-30. The shots were within 3 seconds of each other from the first to last.

This is not George Floyd dying while an officer holds him down (he was dying from drug poisoning but no one saw that on video).

70-30 justified is my guess.

Elric, I looked it up yesterday. Federal felony murder DOES include even just a death of a co-conspirator like is common in civilized states. So the 'Husband' as part of the conspiracy to blockade and obstruct federal officers in lawful duties is squarely on the hook for it. Because without the predicate crime of which that smarmy asshole was a part of, then ensuing death of her 'wife' would have not happened.

When she blocked the road to stop ICE she committed her first crime, but would have likely gotten nothing more then a slap on the wrist - some MN court would have at worst given her a fine.

Then she backed up as the ICE agent was trying to open her door. This is now resisting arrest but even here she is likely out on bail by the evening and will probably end up with a fine or some sort of community service

But as soon as she floored it with an ICE agent it became attempted murder. If she had survived she'd be looking at real time in a federal pen...

Just beating a dead horse here, but even shenanigans like this (fabricating and back-dating missing forms that were required) is fairly easy to find IF IF IF anyone at a supervisory level were doing their job. I personally busted a long-time Federal employee filling out forms he was personally prohibited from touching by simply asking questions to other examiners when I was reviewing "their" work (the prohibited guy had filled out several of those review forms and placed other people's initials on the forms). When I asked simple exam-related questions like "What made you concerned about this particular loan's credit evaluation?" several of the other examiners ratted him out. He was damn near fired (and should have been) a few months later.

National averages aren't very useful because health insurance premiums vary greatly by location and also depend on benefits levels, copays and deductibles, etc. And generally the per employee costs are higher the smaller the company. But yes it's all hella expensive now in large part due to Obamacare mandates.

When it comes to employee group coverage it boils down to how much of that big cost your employer is willing to swallow to attract and retain employees. Your part is what they don't cover. Your best basis of comparison will be similar sized companies in your general location. I don't know if any online tools with this information.

Posted by: Tamaa the Drongo Bird at January 09, 2026 06:39 PM (wGqjj)

Thanks to MAHA, Several States Just Implemented Bans on Using SNAP Benefits for Junk Food; also, A Friend of the Blog Is Running for Statewide Office in Nevada

SNAP Benefits.png

Week after week, and on issue after issue, the Trump administration has given voters like me occasion to say, “This is what I voted for.” Here is yet another example.

January 1 marked the commencement of several state-level bans on the use of SNAP benefits (“Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program” ) to purchase junk food. This was made possible by actions of the Trump administration, through the US Department of Agriculture, and in coordination with the Make America Healthy Again initiatives of HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr.

Specifically, the USDA granted individual states the authority to implement waivers to federal regulations, thus allowing state-level determination of food products which may be considered ineligible for federal SNAP benefits. RFK Jr. was recently quoted as saying, “We cannot continue a system that forces taxpayers to fund programs that make people sick, and then pay a second time to treat the illnesses those very programs help create.”

18 states have taken advantage of this opportunity, and the first junk food prohibitions on SNAP benefits were implemented on January 1, 2026. Those states were Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah, and West Virginia.

“Soda, candy cut for many SNAP users starting January 1. What states are affected?” [USA Today – 12/30/2025]

Millions of SNAP recipients are about to face new limitations on what they can use the federal assistance program to buy, including bans on soda, energy drinks and candy, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

"The Trump Administration is leading bold reform to strengthen integrity and restore nutritional value within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program," the USDA said in a statement about the upcoming changes.

Should the federal government be telling people what food products they can and cannot consume? Of course not. Individuals can spend their own money on whatever they want. But the taxpayers who are funding SNAP have every right to demand that welfare money not be used on junk food.

"Every American who wants to eat a donut ought to be able to eat it or drink a Coke," Kennedy said in early 2025. "But the federal taxpayer should not be paying to poison our children. And we're going to end that."

13 more states will be rolling out various junk food bans on SNAP benefits later this year, including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado, Florida, Arkansas, Idaho, Hawaii, Missouri, North Dakota, South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee.

Companies that have come to rely on the taxpayer-subsidized SNAP revenue stream are not happy.

“Big Sugar Ramps Up Lobbying Efforts as SNAP Soda Ban Spreads” [Bloomberg Government – 7/30/2025]

Food and beverage influence groups boosted lobbying efforts as more than a dozen states seek to block federal food aid recipients from using benefits to purchase sugary products.

The American Beverage Association, which lobbies for Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc., and other non-alcoholic drink makers, spent $1.7 million in the first half of 2025—more than double its outlay during the same period last year.

Grocery chains also lobbied hard to keep revenue from the taxpayer subsidization of junk food rolling in. A report by the National Grocers Association argued that prohibiting SNAP users from purchasing junk food would cost grocers about $1.6 billion initially, and another $759 million going forward. Apparently, a dollar spent on milk instead of soft drinks hits the income statement differently.

Even if I weren’t still upset at PepsiCo and Coca-Cola for their left-wing activism during the great awokening, I would still find it offensive that these prominent corporations are fighting so hard to be on the receiving end of redistributed taxpayer wealth.

Eighteen states placing restrictions on the use of SNAP benefits to purchase junk food is a great start. Many more need to join this health initiative.

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at The American Spectator has been published, with the title, “The War on Labor Expense is Renormalizing Slavery, Just in a 21st Century Form

If this type of slave labor offends our sensibilities when it occurs in Georgia, why is it acceptable for manufacturing that is outsourced to China to use the same labor system? The acceptance of slave labor anywhere in our supply chain makes the domestic acceptance of slavery possible.

Even the use of foreign children as slave labor is becoming disturbingly common again in the United States. Last summer, a raid on illegal labor at a California marijuana farm resulted in the detention of 10 minors, some as young as 14, all foreign nationals, and some of whom were “unaccompanied.” There are more delicate terms that could be used, but the simple fact is that these children were slaves, living on a marijuana plantation, and being held as chattel by the property supervisor.

This article is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

A Friend of the Blog (Jeffrey Carter) Is Running for Nevada State Treasurer

Jeffrey Carter.png

Jeffrey Carter, who is a loyal Ace of Spades reader, and who also writes the widely-read and frequently linked “Points and Figures” substack, is running for Nevada State Treasurer.

Jeff and I have become friends over the past few years, and I have come to greatly value his insights. On more than one occasion I have written that Points & Figures is one of the most educational blogs I read. I am also humbled that he has linked and discussed some of my posts over the years.

We became acquainted when Jeff contacted me after I published a piece in 2022 expressing my concern about the WWII Museum in New Orleans going woke, because its new Liberation Pavilion was straying into post-war, civil rights issues. Jeff had served on the board of the WWII Museum and was very respectful of my concerns. He also shared that piece of mine with the then-current members of the museum’s board.

Mr. Carter has a background in commodity trading and venture capital, and as a refugee from Illinois he understands the destruction that Democrats impose when they have unchecked power. He is an unabashed Trump supporter in a circle of people who are often self-muzzled, if not openly hostile to Trump. This is his official announcement: “Jeff Carter for Nevada State Treasurer: Fight Waste & Fraud, Invest Tax Dollars Wisely

A state Treasurer position can be powerful, with control over how money is deposited and invested. Riley Moore (who I first wrote about back in 2022) used his position as West Virginia State Treasurer to start the state-level pushback against woke money managers when he yanked state investments from Black Rock due its anti-carbon political activism. Jeff is also promising to “ensure the Nevada Treasurer’s office isn’t beholden to investing in ESG or DEI projects, allowing it to focus solely on generating the best ROI.” A Democrat Treasurer would never make that promise.

Although my primary interest in Nevada politics is my concern about California expats colonizing the entire western US and imposing woke-sharia, I am proud to endorse my friend Jeffrey Carter in the Republican primary for Nevada State Treasurer. I have contributed to his campaign at this link.

Also liberals: Of course food stamps should be usable for buying sodas, snacks, and other processed foods.

21 Should the federal government be telling people what food products they can and cannot consume? Of course not. Individuals can spend their own money on whatever they want. But the taxpayers who are funding SNAP have every right to demand that welfare money not be used on junk food.
++++
Yup.

"Public assistance" - if we're to have it - *must* come with strings attached, preferably a lot of them. Staying on "public assistance" should *not* be the goal, getting off of it should be. If being on it is necessary for you but unappealing, you'll be more inclined to take steps to get off of it.

So yes. More strings.

State extension programs have plenty of vids out there on how to cook basic foods with pantry ingredients that are SNAP compliant. Maybe have a mandatory online class you must take connected to getting SNAP benefits? Like the mandatory trainings I have to do at my job.

I knew it was coming because state is run by a bitch and her republican cronies. it's frustrating that people don't understand how the US economy works. This will force people into poverty.

I learned a prepared salad with a sealed utensil inside is SNAP ineligible…but one without is okay. The hoop jumping is meant to confuse, embarrass and shame.

In my 55 years on this planet I have never once been jealous of the items in someone's shopping cart who was paying with food stamps.

I wish everyone who cared about how strangers spend a small amount of grocery money had that same energy for the literal hundreds of billions the Pentagon mysteriously loses every year. I know they never will.

Unpopular opinion: IDGAF that my tax dollars go towards food stamps. Not one fuck. Human beings deserve to be fed. Children, disabled folks, immigrants, elderly, broke college kids, single parents, even unemployed folks. Not a single fuck, feed them all. No one, and I mean NO ONE, should ever have to worry about food. 😤

43 We should return to a biblical method of "SNAP": those in need should be bussed to farmer fields to glean the unharvested bits. And, sure, they can collect bits and pieces of harvested animals. If you don't even want to do that level of work - collecting the food and then cooking it - then, honestly, I don't care if you starve.

As an interim step, the government should return to purchasing staples and handing them out to those currently on SNAP. "Here's your cabbage. Here's your cauliflower. Here's your broccoli. Here's your tripe. Now go feed yourselves."

There are two possibilities.

2) You're lying.

If they don't have foods of which you disapprove, then unless you approve of crap, it shouldn't matter if food stamps can no longer be used for crap.

But money is fungible. They'll just use the SNAP money to buy other stuff, and have more money let over for junk. I also think there's a lot of selling SNAP benefits for cash to buy booze, cigarettes, and drugs.

When you want someone to I dunno cut your grass what do you do? Get 3 bids and pick the cheapest right? This is the same thing but using AI to figure out who will be the cheapest instead of calling around.

Delivering food doesn’t require any specialized skills. You doing it or me doing is the same thing. It’s not like hiring an architect where it’s more than just who is cheapest. So DoorDash figured you’ll do it for $5 but I’ll want $6 so you get it.

65 >>It should come with mandatory training on how to use the budget you have to create nutrient dense meals.


A Denver food pantry does this. They provide nutrition and cooking classes to teach people how to make smart and nutritious choices, stretch meals, etc. They also work hard to stock up with nutritional food, such as trade bakery items from a grocery store with another food bank for fruits/veggies. Very creative.

Best part is this not a government program. Well, I assume so, but after DOGE I am left wondering if there is any food bank and other "private" charity that isn't getting some government money.. . . .

70 Didnt food assistance start out as boxes of food from the ag department. Cans of peanut butter, some kind of cheese, some surplus grain, probably beans, maybe some canned meat.

This notion that it is wrong to prevent SNAP from being used to buy anything that happens to have calories because 'picking on poor people' is horseshit. Probably young folks and then wine and granola moms who want their kids to have the nutritional advantage over folks that need assistance are the only ones who really oppose letting someone buy gallons of soda pop with those bennies.

If we still want to allow SNAP beneficiaries to get beef, give them the cheapest cuts, like chuck and brisket. They require learning how to cook them properly so they aren't tough. Guess what. I learned, and I have the money to eat filet mignon should I so choose. If you're really hungry, you'll learn. Otherwise, I don't care.

Waste and fraud pisses me off regardless of department, and War has plenty of it.

Also, *very* nice retarded framing of the issue, too. Caring "about how strangers spend a small amount of grocery money" is amazing. It's not a small amount, in aggregate (and the government deals in aggregates) and even if it were, if I am a taxpayer, it's *my* money. You're damn right I care about it in that case.

My favorite protein bars are RX Bars (they will not taste like cookies!), second is Perfect Bar.

You can also consider a handful of almonds, or sliced apple drizzled with peanut butter powder mixed with water to make it drizzerable. Let’s rework your breakfast, though.

Stop with the oatmeal package and do actual real oatmeal. You can make overnight oats for time so you cut your sugar even more and increase your portion for the same calories. Ditch the light and fit, and eat whole milk or low fat plain Greek yogurt. Add your fruit, stir in raw honey if you need it a little sweeter. You will stay fuller, longer with the added fat.

136 My family and I started buying groceries in small amounts at. Like enough for a few days at a time. Instead of filling up an entire cart to the brim.

This has been really good. We end up buying just the basics and not a lot of crap. Go in with a small list of items, get that list, leave. In and out in 15 mins.

Also has led to a reduction in wasted food that ends up getting thrown out because it’s forgotten. Oh shit it’s Jan 9, damn this thing expired Dec 14. Because it was put in the back of the fridge and forgotten, Eliminates a lot of that stuff.

138 The corner store in "the community" is running multiple scams.
SNAP being one of them.
Sell a case of soda w/ EBT payment, refund 50% in cash, put the case back on the shelf, rinse, repeat.

I don't think we have any idea the howling that we're going to see as this cash supply gets cut off.

I like the corner gas station in MN that was also running the "accounting" firm that was the auditor for all the other Somali businesses.

The tropical state of Hawaii ranks as the healthiest state in the Union. It stands out for having low percentages in obesity, heart disease, and tobacco use. This suggests a combination of healthy lifestyle choices contributing to overall health.

141 Very nice.

Where I've seen problems in banning sugary drinks is that it usually includes prohibiting the purchase of juices, juice boxes for children and/or sometimes for the elderly. It can affect school lunches programs. (I think PA may even have round the clock food programs for children of certain families and there's programs such as Meals on Wheels.)
It can even affect where people migrate to. (See Philly's Soda Tax that caused quite a few SNAP users to move into different districts, counties, states where they had easier, more walkable access to grocery stores v. convenience stores at gas stations.)

I have no idea how it works now, but years ago parents or guardians received coupons for milk, orange juice, cheese, some cereals, maybe a few other routine items but nothing for nonfood household supplies, hygiene items, or cleaning products. Sometimes that encourages users to trade or sell off SNAP benefits for cold cash, laundry detergent, diapers, etc. (In other words, it contributes to fraud.)

Also, I'd rather have those trying to stay off of certain street drugs drinking energy drinks than shooting up under the tree on my front lawn.

I'm willing to bet that the high cost of junk food is because they were counting on SNAP benefits to cover it and everyone else to pay the normal price.

_______

For grocery stores in poorer neighborhoods (and even in some not-poor neighborhoods), the percentage of their sales through SNAP/EBT is probably over 75%.

There's a Western Beef supermarket in the South Bronx that I occasionally shop in. Of the 100s of people I've seen paying over the years, maybe a dozen didn't use EBT.

Incidentally, despite being in a bad neighborhood, the WB has almost no security, nothing is locked up or hard to reach, and it's quiet clean and well stocked. I always wondered how this was possible, as most stores in bad neighborhoods had everything on lockdown.

Then I found out that WB is owned by a notorious mafia family. The thugs know that if you steal from these guys, the cops ain't gonna find your body.

It's not a zero sum game. If they don't buy junk, they'll have to buy good food. It's not like they are stopping eating. Even though some cows should.

It's already there, and likely attached to our real names thanks to online records, so there's no harm.

And yet there's worlds of benefit in crowdsourcing ideas and treatment. It's how I'm still here. I found out what was possible for my cancer, and went and got as much of the solution (although not all of it) that I could.

I can't believe people do NOT crowd source their health when doctors have so little time for their patients...

His brother, as Luther on Coach, was frequently funnier. Dick though came from the older song and dance plus exaggerated comedy schtick which appealed to some that remembered vaudeville and such, but plays flat to modern sensibilities.

But even Dick admits that his British accent in Mary Poppins was awful. He ended up with an Irish speech coach instead of English and botched it to the point it is painful to watch his scenes in Mary Poppins.

207 82 Not sure how true it is but I’ve read that Americans throw out about 1/4 of the food we buy. Either from going past expiration dates, throwing out leftovers, buying too many ingredients for meals and then throwing out what’s not used, etc.

I know at my house we certainly do waste a ton of food.

I will admit same here - mainly throwing out leftovers, but produce going beyond usability is also an issue with us. The problem, which is the first step in solving, is J will go to the store and see things that look and sound interesting, and then I will do that as well. Or a farmers market, specialty store, what have you. Or on the night of our preplanned meal, J will not be feeling it and will order food (at least not burgers, typically Thai or Napalese and he knows very precisely what I will eat and what I won’t). Poke bowls are another thing. Anyway, it’s exactly what Elric noted, I know I live a privileged existence, and not in the way the left has usurped it. I am sure if I was on my own with my kid, this would look very different.

OTOH, SNAP users cannot buy toothpaste or mouthwash benefits because they are considered personal hygiene/household items, not food.

The modern era is an era where privacy is largely an illusion unless you want to go live in the woods, off grid, as a hermit.

Flock cameras and automatic license plate readers plus your cell phone track you everywhere, most big businesses now have face recognizing tech as do big sporting venues, etc. Your bank records and other financial information is on tap for local cops without your say so and that goes for your call records, texts, emails, and posts as well.

245 A gram scale is very useful at tracking calories, and the Nutrition Facts label.

The truth is, humans don’t need a heck of a lot of food to sustain themselves. This number goes down further as we age, or become more sedentary too.

The “2000 calorie” itself RDA is some kind of mythical Unicorn type person who dutifully jogs 5 miles after work every day. At the very least, older sedentary people can get obese on those kind of numbers.

If you keep track of your intake, you’ll soon discover your own personal metabolic rate. “If I eat this much I lose/maintain/gain” It is remarkable what a close run thing this is, and it isn’t very much.

It takes permanent, lifelong changes to the way we approach our “diet”. It is not a temporary thing. I settled into one meal a day because I like large satisfying meals. It works for many. There is no way around calorie restriction, one way or another.

Nobody wants to do that, and of course it shows. Rampant obesity, metabolic syndrome and eventually, full blown Type 2 diabetes. It isn’t too much to ask that those depending on the kindness of strangers for the very fiber of their being stay within the height and weight chart.

The gist of it is that she had a kid(s) who relied on her. Instead, she opted to leave them wherever they were that day and participate as an agitator at an anti-ICE protest. She was (allegedly) the lead instigator for that event, being filmed by her wife. While in her SUV she could have stopped, opened the door and got out. She chose.... poorly.

There were a lot of points in time where she could have, if she wanted to, stopped what she was doing.

But didn't. There shouldn't be an ounce of sympathy for this woman.

342 But money is fungible. They'll just use the SNAP money to buy other stuff, and have more money let over for junk. I also think there's a lot of selling SNAP benefits for cash to buy booze, cigarettes, and drugs.

Dropped into the comments to say exactly this. I don't see what difference this really makes; you're giving people free money, putting arbitrary restrictions on where it's spent doesn't really solve the problem. I don't know that I agree with shitcanning SNAP entirely, but I do think there needs to be a closer examination of which recipients are truly in need. THAT is where the actual reform needs to be focused.

I know my share of poor people. The business I work for employs many of them in low-level grunt jobs. One of the business locations is in one of the poorest areas of NYC. So I certainly see a lot of poor people.

"Poor" in this country doesn't mean what people think it means. These poor people have cell phones, many have cars, I'm sure they have big-screen TVs and similar luxurious in their homes, and many are overweight they are eating so much.

My immigrant grandfather -- who was dirt poor growing up on the LES back when that was a war zone -- would think these "poor" people are rich.

As the facts trickle in, the woman was NOT panicking, had been trained by leftist organizations to stop ICE enforcement, was undoubtedly involved in radical circles from her school to when she was drifting around the nation, and her lifestyle may very well have been financed by leftist oligarchs to cause trouble.

The left has a drifting population of rioters, ballot harvesters, vote fraud, and registering fake voters,rallies, etc. and that political army in waiting does different things through the election cycles depending on the needs of the Dems. Rental cars, lodging, travel expenses, and so on including stipends from various NGOs acting as passthrough and always being on the public dole.

420 I don't see what difference this really makes; you're giving people free money, putting arbitrary restrictions on where it's spent doesn't really solve the problem.

I don’t see the problem with encouraging people to start making money on their own to supplement their real food with junk food.

Making financial decisions like that is deceptively addicting. It can result in waking up years later to discover you’re paying into the system instead of taking out.

I do. And I am reminded daily but for the Grace of God go I. Those who are there because they left exceedingly terrible circumstances or have been put in them through no fault of their own deserve compassion and dignity.


In my case, you'd guess wrong, but regardless, defending people who are clearly abusing the system does nobody any favors, least of all those who genuinely need the help. People don't like being treated like chumps, and those who defend taxpayer-funded junk food are doing exactly that. I've heard almost nobody say that we shouldn't help those who genuinely need help. Feeding them crap isn't helping.

Jeebus, I can't stop crying now since Charlie's assassination and watching The Chosen.

I just turned age 40 in hex (base 16) -- or 64 for those of you who don't do math; maybe there's such a thing as male menopause (although thank the Good Lord the sex drive has remained the same since age 13, occasionally to the consternation of The Wifey)?

502 "A question that I don't see many asking: why did she run?"

People, especially narcissistic females, act very strangely around the police. They panic and say and do stupid shit. They also seem to think legal commands from a police officer are optional, and arguable, things to be debated at length. because this is how they get through their normal lives with other authority figures. They are not used to taking or obeying orders. They expect to be able to yak their way out of any uncomfortable situation.

There are a couple hundred videos online of women turning traffic stops into arrests and even felonies. It's just a sad fact.

Just sit them in a chair and hook up an intravenous bag of cane sugar with some form of unhealthy dye in it. There should be a law requiring 25% less sugar in cereals and drinks by Jan 1,2027 then another 25% by Jan 1 2028. If the GOP can hold on to the fort, then removing sugar by 95% should be the goal by Jan 1 2032. No more zoomie children.

509 When I was a young man just starting out in life with a car payment, a house payment, a baby, working construction ten-hour days six days a week, and going to night school at the local community college,’there was a butcher shop that sold beef heart for (IIRC) about 35 cents a pound. It was the cheapest source of animal protein except for chicken gizzards. The beef heart sliced thin, pounded, dredged in flour,’and pan fri d made great sandwiches.

45 The slice of urban landscape over on the left has a very Hopper-esque vibe. So does the red brick building and the window frame . . . but at that point any resemblance to Hopper's style disappears.

He and Hopper were contemporaries for a number of years. I wonder if they met, or knew each other socially, and if Hopper's work influenced Evergood's.

Posted by: Pedantic Pete at January 09, 2026 10:04 AM (2Ez/1)

159 I like the way he captured the movement of the birds and even how the bricks are painted. But the windows are dark and the interior feels empty despite the brighter colors in the painting. The birds are the only signs of life against the hard lines of the city. Even the tree branches are dead. What could have been a charming image of a little girl taking delight in the birds' antics has a sense of isolation, perhaps innocent desperation to connect with a living world. And her hands, in contrast to her face, belong to an old woman, not a child. Perhaps this interaction with life is as good as it will ever get for her.

Maybe I need more coffee but the overall sense of the painting is lonely and depressing.

I looked at some of his other works. He seems to be trying to channel, badly, van Gogh but without any of the liveliness.

Posted by: one hour sober

Bowe v. United States addresses the legal challenges of Michael Bowe regarding his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) for using a firearm during a crime of violence, focusing on the implications of recent Supreme Court rulings.

Background of the Case
Michael Bowe was charged in 2008 with conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery,
attempted Hobbs Act robbery, and using a firearm during a crime of violence.
He pled guilty in 2009 and received a 288-month sentence, which included a mandatory consecutive 120-month term for the firearm conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c).


Starting in 2016, Bowe sought to challenge his § 924(c) conviction, arguing that changes in Supreme Court precedent, particularly the rulings in Johnson v. United States and United States v. Davis, meant that his underlying crimes no longer qualified as “crimes of violence” that could support the firearm conviction.

I’m not easily shook these days but the number of people who think the appropriate punishment for not following a masked federal agent’s orders is assassination is rather shocking
. . .
Honestly the last time i was this shook was seeing the number of people who were pretty sanguine about a podcaster getting assassinated bc his takes are bad. I guess there are just way more people who are “neutral to pro” on assassination that I realized.

Well, on way the Charlie Kirk and Good shootings are alike, Trump is responsible for both.

282 ICE is not the victim
MAGA lies can’t hide the real damage done to people like Renee Nicole Good By Amanda Marcotte

the true courage on display in this country is plenty visible in the video of Good’s killing. Not from the cowardly ICE agents that swarmed her car and shot at her as she appears to be driving away. But from the 37-year-old Good, her wife and the other ordinary citizens in the video who are yelling “shame” and standing up to masked, armed ICE agents in their streets. Like so many of us, Good could have stayed tucked safely away in her house, looking the other way while a bunch of hastily hired wannabe warriors terrorized her neighbors. But while much needs to be learned about what happened, it appears that Good died doing what so many other ordinary Americans have in recent months: standing up to the bullies that Trump unleashed on their communities.

When interfacing with the public, however, ICE and their supporters inevitably come across as whiny babies playing dress-up...Heaven forbid any of these people stub a toe. We’ll never stop hearing about how it was like their entire leg was amputated.

296 the true courage on display in this country is plenty visible in the video of Good’s killing. Not from the cowardly ICE agents that swarmed her car and shot at her as she appears to be driving away. But from the 37-year-old Good, her wife and the other ordinary citizens in the video who are yelling “shame” and standing up to masked, armed ICE agents in their streets. Like so many of us, Good could have stayed tucked safely away in her house, looking the other way while a bunch of hastily hired wannabe warriors terrorized her neighbors. But while much needs to be learned about what happened, it appears that Good died doing what so many other ordinary Americans have in recent months: standing up to the bullies that Trump unleashed on their communities.

I know this is your internalized picture of yourself, all bravely resisting and such, but if you want to know what real courage looks like, look to Iran. They're actually risking their lives. You're cosplaying.

Philip Evergood

SAAM, in part, "Painter and muralist. His experiences in the Great Depression led him to turn from biblical subjects to social criticism. He was also active in organizations devoted to the civil rights of artists."

Not buying it. He was born 1901 in NY, NY; died 1973 in Bridgewater, CN, not exactly the orphan train experience.

Lily, who looks more like Luke, feeding sparrows chicken legs. I cannot imagine what social commentary could be attached to the painting. (I suspect he was faking it. I'm awful at painting and pastels but can almost do as well.)

It's certain different but I'd pass hanging. Thanks.

This zone spans for SEVERAL BLOCKS, and residents are BARRED from driving to their homes.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST END THIS.
Makeshift barricades using trash and stolen materials are at ALL intersections, and “guards” are present at each.
This looks almost IDENTICAL to CHAZ, or the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in Seattle in 2020, where the city SURRENDERED a neighborhood to anarchists who made their own “laws.”
CHAZ was famous for failed communism, death, theft, and vandalism, and as you’d imagine, they were commonplace in the zone.
@KevinPosobiec and I went in undercover to take a look. If we had been discovered, we’d have been violently run out. It’s not as “friendly” as it seems.

Good is having the same journey it seems.
Posted by: Really?? at January 09, 2026 10:31 AM (kgFPv)


I don't think it's going to work.

While Floyd dies of an over-dose (as the first autopsy report found -- later changed under pressure), the image of Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's back smirking at the camera was pretty powerful for those who didn't know or lied about the circumstances of Floyd's death.

The video of the incident shows that Renee Good pointed her car directly at the ICE officer, and then struck him with the car. Additionally, she had been following ICE around all morning and was blocking the road before she got herself shot.

I was just on the Tube of Ewes and the algorithm thought I would be interested in a CBS News clip -- easily over 75% of the comments were to the effect that Good had put herself in harm's way and the ICE officer was justified in defending himself. This in going to end up being an 80/20 issue with the Democrats supporting the minority position.

The Morning Report — 1/9/26

ICEThatLip.jpg

Good morning kids. In the truly immortal words of Yogi Berra "It's Deja Vu All Over Again."

A suspected member of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua attempted to run over federal immigration officers in Portland, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

One Border Patrol officer pulled a gun and fired a “defensive shot” at the vehicle. The suspected gang member and his passenger, also suspected of gang ties, sped off.

“At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland,” Homeland Security said. “The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.” “Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene,” the statement continued.
. . . The shooting in Portland comes a day after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis. The woman had blocked a road with her vehicle. As federal officers exited their vehicles and approached her vehicle, requesting she exit hers, the woman backed up before pulling her car forward. One officer in front of the car then fired a fatal shot at the woman.
The Department of Homeland Security defended the ICE agents’ conduct, calling the incident “an act of domestic terrorism.”
“This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats,” the agency said.

First there is a difference between this incident and the one in Minneapolis in that the perps in Portland were actual illegal alien criminals, and knowing they faced prison and/or deportation and incarceration in a Venezuelan prison, which makes American prisons luxury resorts by comparison, naturally they, or at least the driver, had no compunction about slamming on the gas pedal to get the hell away. He and his companion had been hardcore criminal gangsters for many years before they met their end yesterday. The same can hardly be said of the now refrigerated corpse long in a coroner's meat locker somewhere up in Minneapolis. What was her excuse for winning a stupid prize for playing a stupid game? Am I splitting hairs in trying to make a distinction? Maybe, and yet. Hardened desperate criminals are going to do whatever they feel they must in order to escape and evade capture. If they feel they have nothing to lose then of course all bets are off even if it means killing a cop or an innocent bystander. Addendum: It's apparent Antifans and other Democrat approved street thugs must feel they have the political and legal cover to commit acts of political terrorism. We'll know for sure if the ICE agent who iced the terrorist in Minneapolis gets the Derek Chauvin treatment, as I suspect he might.

The dead asshole in Minneapolis somehow developed a mindset wherein her thought processes had become so twisted and her morality so inverted that she thought of these criminals as Jews fleeing the SS and the gas chambers so she took up arms, or in her case an SUV, to join in her mind some sort of equivalent of a Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Be that as it may, Her attempting to ram an Ice Agent who by the way . . .

The ICE agent who was forced to shoot and kill Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday after she tried to run him over had already survived a harrowing attack last June, when an illegal immigrant dragged him 100 yards during a traffic stop after trapping his arm in the vehicle.

Yeah, big mystery why he pulled his gun and shot to kill. . .

But in any event, it cannot be mere coincidence that we have a veritable plague of miscreants using automobiles, and mostly SUVs to ram ICE agents and police as they attempt to do their duty. As the great Walter Matthau quipped in The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 regarding how the hijacker knew how to drive a subway train, "You don't pick that up just by watching Sesame Street!"


Same deal with Islamikaze bombers. And now SUV road warriors. Someone is training them.

Radical leftist groups, including one financed with $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, The Post has learned.

Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota, where Renee Nicole Good was shot dead Wednesday after allegedly trying to mow down an ICE  agent with her vehicle.

Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records. The controversial group was also behind recent pro-Venezuela protests and “No Kings” demonstrations against the Trump administration throughout the country last year.

In addition to Indivisible Twin Cities — which does not identify its leaders on its web site — other protest leaders include the Council for American Islamic Relations, an anti-Israel group whose Minnesota chapter’s executive director Jaylani Hussein has rallied against ICE at protests.

“A young observer killed in the line of observing, we believe in a peaceful manner. They are lying, as you hear today. They already shared lies about what took place,” Hussein said, speaking into a megaphone at an anti-ICE demonstration Wednesday.

Good, a sometime poet, has been described by leftist sources as a “legal observer” during the residential ICE action where she died. Good, who moved from Colorado to Minnesota last year, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and a member of “ICE Watch,” a coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in Minneapolis, The Post recently revealed.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, the founder of the Racial Justice Network, has also been a leader of the demonstrations. The Minnesota attorney and civil rights activist is one of the people helping organize the so-called “legal observers” who show up at raids throughout the city to document the federal agents’ activities, according to social media posts.

She also posts information about vigils and demonstrations on her social media accounts. Armstrong played a prominent role during the protests after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis in May, 2020, according to reports.

When embattled Minnesota governor Tim Walz announced that he would not be seeking re-election amid a sprawling welfare fraud in the state earlier this week, Armstrong criticized his move as a “retreat.”


If Walz is retreating, he must be following the Wilton Parmenter definition. Retreat and reverse into victory!

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) has called up the state’s National Guard troops to assist local law enforcement as clashes between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and violent left-wing protestors continue in Minneapolis. According to the governor’s office and a report by CNN, the National Guard will “help protect critical infrastructure and maintain public safety.”“Governor Tim Walz has authorized the Minnesota National Guard to be staged and ready to support local and state law enforcement in protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining public safety following a shooting involving federal immigration enforcement agents in south Minneapolis,” a press release issued on January 8 by Gov. Walz’s office states.The statement continues: “Executive Order 26-01 provides the ability for the Minnesota National Guard to protect critical infrastructure and to assist local law enforcement with additional tasks as requested. The state is providing additional law enforcement resources in a coordinated response to aid local law enforcement. The Minnesota State Patrol has mobilized 85 members of its Mobile Response Team to support law enforcement efforts in the Twin Cities.”


Brilliant move, Timmy. As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as available on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post, the last time a state called out the Guard to essentially challenge the United States Army was 165 years ago in South Carolina. And how did that work out for them and for America as a whole?

All President Trump has to do is federalize the Guard, and it's game, set and match. In any case it is as plain as day for anyone with eyes to see that the Democrat/Left is indeed fomenting insurrection and attempting to touch off a Civil War or at the very least to create such a crisis, as they did with the George Floyd riots (what the hell is it with Minneapolis?!) so as to use it as a smokescreen to gain the upper hand in the coming midterms or at the very least derail the last half of President Trump's second term which so far, in both foreign and domestic policies is on track to be a raging success.

Regardless of what the Fed may or may not do, the economy is recovering and in fact set to take off just in time for next November, the capture of Maduro is wildly popular and the Iranian mullahocracy which never would have come about were it not for Jimmy Carter lanting the seed and Clinton, Kerry, Obama doing all they could to keep them in power, may finally at long last be about to crumble.

Yes, all the Democrats can do is all they've ever done — sow division and create a never ending string of crises to fan the flames of discontent for political cover/advantage.

The Insurrection Act should indeed be invoked and whoever and whatever is behind the political terrorism must be smashed to bits. You best believe at the heart of it all is the Democrat National Committee.

Have a great weekend!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

    This is fine.

    Lil' Marco's, however, was a barn-burner.
    As this list begins to demonstrate, what started as a pragmatic framework of international organizations for peace and cooperation has morphed into a sprawling architecture of global governance, often dominated by progressive ideology and detached from national interests. From DEI mandates to "gender equity" campaigns to climate orthodoxy, many international organizations now serve a globalist project rooted in the discredited fantasy of the "End of History." These organizations actively seek to constrain American sovereignty. Their work is advanced by the same elite networks--the multilateral "NGO-plex"-- that we have begun dismantling through the closure of USAID.

    We will not continue expending resources, diplomatic capital, and the legitimizing weight of our participation in institutions that are irrelevant to or in conflict with our interests. We reject inertia and ideology in favor of prudence and purpose. We seek cooperation where it serves our people and will stand firm where it does not.

    I was trying to watch Iran situation late last night but only about an hour after the starlinks were set up, the Islamic Republic (with Chinese or Russian tech?!?) were scrambling starlink signals.

Another fool asked him if implicating the Left as a support system for the riots meant that all Leftists should be shot.

    She had a black dog with her and asked police if she could retrieve a leash from the Pilot. There are several pictures of her sitting on the ice sobbing. She even mentioned the six year old who was in school somewhere.

    204 Reading about the Soros and taxpayer funded NGO that organizes, trains, equips, and otherwise supports these "legal observer," I'd like to know what kind of daily pay you get when you've elevated yourself to a leadership position, as this woman surely did.

    She and her butch girlfriend have likely been getting in 60 hour weeks driving around with their comms gear in cars provided by the organization.

    Plenty of AWFLs in MPLS to donate cars for skids like these two. Thus the MO plates.

    $20 an hour? The two could have been raking in $2500 a week, cash. In a town where somali crooks get that kind of grift daily.

    The supremacy clause means that the federal laws surrounding things like immigration override any state laws surrounding those things.

    As I understand it, and difficult as it may be to believe based on the caricature painted here, he doesn't only talk about Israel and Jews and how bad they are. Supposedly, she said that some of his ideas - outside the realm of Jews - are pretty good.

    - X turns on location.
    - Tucker and Fuentes are revealed to be propped up by a massive number of over-seas "Americans."
    - That entire ecosystem just ... pretends we can't see who they really are and continues to push their propaganda.

    I guess, if she wants to be the fool, I can't stop her.

    I do note, at least the sillies here that were telling us we had to take Fuentes serious, "look at how many followers he has!" have shut up.

    The ICE agent who killed the woman was in the military and was prior law enforcement. Its not incompetence. Its malice. They're killing us for sport.

    Trump is trying to provoke an excuse to issue the insurrection act but he would've gotten so much less pushback if he did it without killing people

    The armed forces deciding they're not going to listen to their chain of command is a slim chance. But if an alliance of blue states' Senate / house / local commanding officers did that then, it would be strongest response to this insanity we could muster

    State agencies in sane jurisdictions should treat Feds as members of an ongoing criminal enterprise MS13. They’re more dangerous to innocent civilians and just as bad for jurisdictional security.

    332 Sarah Clarke, Mayor Jacob Frey’s wife, worked for Hylden Advocacy & Law. Hylden Advocacy & Law provided legal and lobbying representation to Feeding Our Future ($250 million food aid fraud). Hylden is also listed as a paid lobbyist on a Somali Museum founded by Osman Ali (museum received $4.5 million months after the owner plead guilty to fraud)

    Clarke left Hylden’s firm in January when the investigation took off. Clarke’s exit was abrupt and without explanation, leaving many unanswered questions...

    At least eight people named in the indictment donated $1,000, the maximum allowable contribution, to Frey’s 2021 mayoral campaign.

    Three of Mayor Frey’s appointees were federally indicted.

    Abdi Nur Salah, a former senior policy aide to then-Council Member Abdi Warsame, moved up the City Hall ranks into the role of Frey’s senior policy aide in 2018

    Sharmarke Issa was appointed by Frey to chair the housing authority in 2019 and reappointed in 2021.

    Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud was appointed by Frey to the newly created Minneapolis Community Safety Workgroup.

    348 Woman Killed In Minneapolis Was "ICE Watch" Left-Wing Activist Trained To Resist Fed Agents: Report

    Good and her wife Rebecca, 40, who were raising the child together and sent the boy to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 which has from its inception been "unabashedly dedicated to social justice education," according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

    It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in "ICE Watch" — a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.

    "From my understanding, she was involved in social justice ... we are a tight-knit community and a lot of parents are [activists]," former Southside gym teacher Rashad Rich, who resigned from the school last month, told The Post.

    1) The information already coming out about her will make her unsavory to many. She wasn't just some soccer mom innocently trapped in an ICE raid.

    Plus, all the video - from several vantage-points - supports the ICE officer. Renee Good definitely moved her car to point it directly at the ICE officer, and then struck him with her car hard enough to partially bend him over the hood and push him forward. Whether she did this intentionally or in a blind panic doesn't matter. Lethal force is appropriate during situations in which the LEO fears death or serious physical harm.

    Agree someone is funding and training them - perhaps to do the opposite of what has been placed in writing by the city & state. See, 'Safety in public spaces.' Know what to do to keep safe when you are in a large crowd, Minneapolis, MN 55421, Last updated on June 11, 2025, which includes Protect Yourself When Driving.

    In part, "Be safe. Minneapolis is a vibrant city. One with many public events for you to attend. It's important to be safe when in a crowd.

    You many find yourself in the middle of:
    A large crowd
    A mass assembly
    A protest or march
    Civil unrest

    Take action
    See peaceful and lawful gathering tips
    Learn what to do if you are outside
    Learn what to do if you are inside"

    Again, the article/document was released June 2025 when ICE specifically targeted the Minneapolis area, conducting effective targeted enforcement operations. And, June 17, 2025, an ICE officer was seriously injured when dragged by a suspect's vehicle during an attempted arrest in a suburb of Minneapolis.

    That officer was identified as Jonathan Ross, the same reportedly involved in the shooting, Jan. 7th.

    Had Officer Ross been a protest target?

    Walz, Frey, etc. should be up to their eyeballs in legal problems for seemingly encouraging "Good Trouble" from their public podiums. (There's extensive history which extended well beyond state boundaries, i.e.) Wikipedia, 'List of vehicle-ramming incidents during George Floyd protests'

    It begins, "During the George Floyd protests that started in Minneapolis–Saint Paul after the murder of George Floyd, several incidents occurred in which vehicles were driven into protestors. According to Ari Weil, a terrorism researcher, there were 104 incidents of vehicles driving into protests between May 27 and September 27, 2020, with two fatalities in that time period."

State and city leaders are calling for the BCA to be included in the investigation, as Gov. Tim Walz stated that Minnesotans will have trouble trusting federal authorities.

    "It feels very difficult that we will get a fair outcome. And I say that because people in positions of power have already passed judgment from the president, vice president to Kristi Noem, who have told you things that are verifiably inaccurate," Walz said Thursday."
